ONE SKILLET SAUSAGE MEAL

 

1 tsp canola oil

2-oz smoked sausage, sliced diagonally
1 cup frozen diced hash brown potatoes
1/2 small zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into half moons
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add the sausage, potatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, garlic, chili powder, and black pepper to the skillet.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly browned and the veggies are tender, approximately 5 minutes.  Spoon the salsa overall.
