Veggie Bake.

I love to cook! I don't like to clean it up though... ahh.. ya win some ya lose some... here is a couple recipes I've made over the past few days! Both are really good!!

My cousin Amandas sister in law made this wonderful sausage, veggie bake that was unreal how good! I found a recipe on pinterest that looked good as well so I mixed the recipes and It turned out so good! I made a huge pan but you can 1/2 the recipe:
 
At the end I have the recipe with measurements and you can copy and paste to print off. Haven't got this fixed to send you to a printable link yet! 

Start with Chopping up some Veggies: Onions, Peppers, Red Potatoes, Celery, and Carrots
Toss them in a pan

Mix up some Oil, A packet of Ranch seasoning, and some chicken stock or broth in a small bowl


Pour over your veggies with some salt and pepper and toss them around
This already looks edible to me! Yummmmmm! Next tightly wrap with aluminum foil and put in a preheated 450 degree oven.
I know, I know, all the pics are unnecessary and my oven desperately needs cleaned. But I like taking pics and pretending I'm Pioneer Woman.

This veggie bake is good by itself but you can just add it to anything your cooking! I made it with Smoked Turkey sausage and spaghetti squash! Spaghetti Squash is fun to make!! Just cut it in half and spoon out all of the seeds. Season with salt and pepper and lay cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet.

Cover with another piece of foil and throw into a 425 degree oven. For 25 minutes. After that remove the foil, let it cool a little bit, and then take a fork and just start scraping and you get this!
So cooooooooooooooooooooool!
 
I sliced up my turkey sausage and once it was close to done I tossed the spaghetti squash in with it.
Yum.



Now back to the veggies. After about 45 minutes take this goodness out and if your veggies are fork tender then leave them uncovered and pop them back into the oven for another 15 minutes! Then indulge!

Ya'll this was so good!

 




 

Ingredients:
2 Celery Stalks roughly chopped
Couple of handfuls of baby carrots or less but I love them so I added quite a few
5-6 Red potatoes chopped, leave the skin on!
1 Onion cut up in wedges
1/2 Of Red or Green Pepper, if you really like them use a whole one, sliced
1/4 Cup of Chicken Stock/Broth
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
2 tbs. Olive Oil (Vegetable or Canola is fine)

Preheat your oven to 450
Once all your veggies are chopped up toss them in the 9x13 pan and salt and pepper.
In a bowl mix up your seasoning, oil, and chicken stock/broth and pour over veggies.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Check your veggies if they are fork tender then keep the foil off and pop them back in the over uncover for about 15 minutes.
Then Eat!
