One Pot Sausage and Veggie Meal
This one pot meal is packed full of nutrient dense veggies. The potatoes and sausage blend together for a classic flavor while the peppers, onions, and squash add a sweet, fresh burst of flavor. This meal is made in one pot and is Paleo and Whole30 friendly.

- Add more oil to the onions before throwing the potatoes into the pot. Reduce heat to low and cover fro 20 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to keep potatoes from sticking to the pot. Chop the rest of the veggies while waiting for the potatoes to soften. Add 1 tsp salt. Add the pepper.

Notes
There are so many ways to modify this recipe! One trick for making this a 20 minute meal is to use left over baked potatoes. Simply skip the potatoes, cook the veggies, and add the pre-cooked taters at the end!
Substitute whatever veggies you have on hand!
I sometimes add bone broth to help the potatoes soften or if it just seems like it needs a little liquid.
Use garlic powder for more flavor as needed.
