My 3 go-to one-pan dinners.

Today, I am sharing with you my go-to one-pan dinner meals. These one pan meals take about 5 minutes to prep and less than 30 minutes to cook. They will save you so much time and money. Time, because you won’t have to wash 5 different pans after your meal and money because you won’t need to order in because you don’t feel like preparing food. These meals are also awesome for mealprepping. Try them out and let me know which one is your favourite.

Italian sausage with green beans and potatoes.

this is a classic for me. So easy yet so delicious. you can use any type of sausage. I used mild italian but spicy Italian sausage or maybe even polish sausage would be amazing. I am using some small potatoes here but some baby potatoes would be even better. If you are using baby potatoes, go ahead and cut them in half. if your potatoes are a little bigger, cut them into quarters. so on and so forth. the potatoes are what takes the most time to cook so make sure they are not too big, because you will have overcooked green beans by the time your taters are cooked. here's the recipe.

ingredients:

• 5-6 sausages (your favourite kind)
• 1 pound baby or small potatoes
• 1/2 pound green beans
• 1 onion cut into quarters
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon italian spice mix
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt/pepper

instructions:

•  preheat the oven to 375f.
• cut the potatoes in half or quarters.
• trim the ends of the green beans and cut in half.
• place the potatoes, green beans and onions into a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the spices.
• oil a baking tray with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• spread the vegetables onto the baking tray and place the sausages on top.
• cook for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
