Today I wanted to share a super simple meal with y’all. Even though school has been in session for a month, some days I get home and realize that it’s 5:00 and I need to get dinner on the table stat. We love eating together as a family, but sometimes Life can get so busy. It is on those days I turn to Eckrich Smoked Sausage. I love having this easy recipe that allows us to enjoy dinner time instead of stressing about the meal.
When I make this dish I always use Eckrich Smoked Sausage, which they naturally hardwood smoke to give it a real smokehouse taste. There is such a wide variety of Eckrich Smoked Sausage to choose from. While I usually go with the Smoked Sausage Rope, this time I changed it up and purchased the Jalapeño & Cheddar Smoked Sausage Links while doing my shopping at Kroger.
The jalapeños help to give the dish that little extra kick that my husband loves! Really, you can use any smoked sausage with this recipe and it will turn out great. Eckrich has a wide variety of delicious smoked sausage in both rope and link form to choose from.
So, how to make it? Follow along here with pictures, or scroll down to get the printable recipe. There aren’t that many ingredients, and it’s super quick!
Start by slicing your smoked sauage and browning them in a little olive oil.
After the smoked sausage has browned remove from pan. Add sliced potatoes and cook for about two minutes. Add milk, water, and a dash of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
