Welcome, November! The nights are coming earlier and the weather has gotten colder. When you step outside there is the smell of the fallen leaves and of chimney smoke lingering in the air. Warm comforting foods have taken the place of the summer salad and the last of the garden harvest are being brought in from the field.
A sausage bake is a flavorful and easy dish that takes minimal work and watching. It is perfect for those nights that you have book reports to work on, science projects to construct, and sports to practice. Just toss all the ingredients in a casserole dish or dutch oven put in the oven and let it go.
