After A Busy Day . . . or Month

Sometimes when you come home after work; or a long day at the zoo :) you just want to whip something up and throw it on the table.  But you don't want to sacrifice taste or nutrition.  So here's a really easy skillet meal that takes about 20 minutes from fridge to table - I can usually get it done in about 15.  Thanks for this tasty, quick meal idea, Mamaw (Sis Sells)--we use it a lot!!!
  • 1 pckg of smoked sausage; the traditional rope (substitute turkey sausage if you want to go for a healthier option)
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 green bell pepper; seeded and chopped coarsely
  • 1 small onion (optional)
Throw all ingredients in an ungreased non-stick skillet on med to med-high heat.  Toss around until everything's hot.  We serve it over minute rice - you can use white or brown, and just follow the instructions on the box.  To get that extra serving of veggies in there, stick some Steamfresh broccoli or sugar snap peas in the microwave and in six minutes you're good to go.  Voila!  Fridge to table in 20 minutes or less . . . what will your record be? 

Happy Cooking!
