Sweet Potato Hash With Sausage Recipe

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb. bulk pork sausage, Italian sausage, or spicy breakfast sausage

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced (2 cups)

8 ounces Brussels sprouts, quartered (2 cups)

1 medium bell pepper, diced (1 cup)

½ small red onion, sliced (½ cup)

2 garlic cloves, minced

If needed: 1-2 teaspoons avocado oil, olive oil, ghee, or butter

Optional: Top with a fried egg and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes. Once the sausage is cooked through, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate. Do not wipe out the skillet and use the residual oil from the sausage to brown the veggies.

To the same skillet over medium heat, add the diced sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Cover the skillet and cook the veggies for 5 minutes, then uncover and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If veggies begin to stick, add some oil to grease the skillet.

After 10 minutes, stir in the diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, until the veggies are softened to desired texture.

Finally, return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir just until heated through and serve.
