Quick, Easy Meal for Fall: Rustic Italian Sausage and Potatoes - My Highest Self

Quick, Easy Meal for Fall: Rustic Italian Sausage and Potatoes

As a busy mom and blogger, I love an easy, one-pot meal.  However, I’m not a fan of the “let’s throw any old thing together in a pot and call it dinner” type of meal.  I hated that growing up.  If I’m going to make a one-pot meal, it’s going to be full of flavor and include a few of my favorite ingredients.  I put together the perfect rustic meal for fall that includes red potatoes, fresh herbs and Johnsonville Naturals Mild Italian Sausage.  These sausages are 100% natural with no fillers, zero trans fat, no msg added, and gluten-free.  The simple ingredients list: Pork, water and less than 2% of the following: salt, natural sugar, spice, paprika, natural flavors.  The Johnsonville Naturals line includes italian sausage, brats, and even breakfast sausages.  What a great way to make a healthier meal for the family!

Johnsonville Naturals Italian Sausage Recipe

This recipe for Rustic Italian Sausage and Potatoes will have dinner on the table in just about 30 minutes.  I love it because the potatoes, fresh rosemary, fresh basil mix well with the flavor of Johnsonville Naturals Mild Italian Sausage.  Our family was already a fan of the Johnsonville brand and after testing the Naturals line, it is now a true favorite.  The taste is fresh and reminds me of the sausages that you might pick up at your local Italian deli.  

I hope you enjoy this easy and hearty meal for Fall!
