Happy almost hump day my freaky darlings.
We got a cool front here in Oklahoma and it resulted in rain this eve!! It has been so nice in the house and the AC has not had to hardly run all day. LOVED IT! Now I am waiting with baited breath for Thursday and the 100% chance of rain it has. Speaking of ... My heart goes out to all those effected by the flooding in Colorado. I love the rain but not when it causes lives to be lost. :(
.......
So guess what I did today? I felt it was BRAVE and DARING and like living LIFE ON THE EDGE!!!! ....
I turned the oven to burn that sh*t level. *flexes and grunts*
Something I normally do not do is turn the oven up above 375. Like honestly how many meals call for anything above that? No I do not need you to name 5 for me. *stinks toungue out in a bratty mannor* ... so ya ... Normally anything higher is just to broil it for 3 to 5 min and I have a setting for that. Well with the possibility of rain and the stupid mosquitoes outside, I was not feeling the "Get ya Grill on" like I normally would with the meal I had planned.... So what did I do?? Oh YA BABY I cranked that oven to 450 and we roasted potatoes,onions and sausage indoors. Oh ya I was scared but I was living on the "that is really hot adrinaline". In the back of my mind I just knew we would have raw potatoes and charcoal brackets for meat. I was terrified we would be eating cheese sammiches for dinner not the yummy goodness known as smoked sausage. Once again I was wrong. The potatoes were perfect , the meat and onions had just the right amount of char on it to make it taste like it was grilled outside. I am totally bummed there were NO left overs to have for lunch tomorrow. Dang bottomless pits I call kids. LOL!
Now this isn't a gourmet meal and there is not much to it. Just remember you CAN do this as long as you check on it in 15 min intervals if you are affraid of catching your kitchen on fire like I am...or 20 if you feel like Super Chef. But no matter what please check on this meal at this temp cause everyones oven is different and your oven may cause for a lower cook time... or more ya never know.
- cut 5lbs of potaotes into 1/4 inch circles
- cut two onions in half and then into 4 wedges
- cut 3 lbs of smoked sausage into smaller links , mine were about 2 inches in length cause I am sneaky and it looks like you have alot of meat on your plate with a large amount of veggies.
- In a small bowl I mixed the sauce
- 2 tsp of garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp of EVOO or Canola oil
- 1/3 c apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 c beef broth
- salt and pepper to taste
As you can see by the picture I goofed but YOU are going to pile just the veggies onto 2 foiled and cooking sprayed Jelly roll pans. It is so close to being a hot mess now.....literally.
Once I had it spred out evenly on the 2 pans I drizzled the "suace" evenly over both pans. Let this cook in your 450 degree oven for 20 min then add the meat to the top and cook for an additional 25 min. CHECKING on it at the 15 min mark. The meat is going to have crisp edges and the onions as well. You can add your sausage at the begining but I was really lucky we were checking it cause it could have gone way wrong way fast.
I served this with BBQ sauce to dip in but you can eat it nakie it is so good.
Hope you enjoy and feel like an indoor roasting rebel like I do!!
