Looking for a quick, easy, and affordable family meal they’ll love? Make this simple Sausage + Pepper Sheet Pan Meal in 30 minutes. It’s a ten-dollar dinner that can be served over rice or on hoagie rolls!
Hello, this is Heather from Kitchen Concoctions and I’m excited to share my recipe for this Sausage + Pepper Sheet Pan Meal with you today! A few of my new year’s goals are to spend more time doing the things I love like spending time with family, having more dinners at the dinner table, and saving money.
Because, like many of you, I spend way too much at the grocery store each week and don’t have the time each weeknight to spend cooking intense recipes and cleaning the kitchen. That’s why I’ve been loving ten-dollar dinners, and specifically sheet pan meals!
Sheet pan suppers are entire dinners cooked on one sheet pan, like my Ham and Asparagus Tart or today’s recipe, Sausage and Pepper Sheet Pan Supper. Not only are these meals easy to make, they usually don’t require lots of ingredients or use a lot of kitchen utensils to prepare. This makes them not only budget friendly, but great if you are busy and on the go, which I would say is most of us.
Sausage + Pepper Sheet Pan Meal 3 Ways!
This Sausage and Pepper Sheet Pan Meal is very versatile and could be eaten as is simply paired with a side salad like this Spinach Berry Salad with Creamy Balsamic Dressing or this Fresh Broccoli Salad for a light, low carb meal. You could serve this one-pan meal over rice for a simple kid-friendly dinner. For a deli-style meal, pair Sausage and Pepper Hoagies with a side salad, chips, or French fries.
Personally, I prefer serving this dinner recipe as hoagies, because it makes things easier, uses less dishes. and is a complete and affordable meal. In fact, based on the prices at my grocery store and using a few pennies worth of pantry staples, I was able to make this sheet pan supper into Sausage and Pepper Hoagies with a side of sweet potato fries to serve a family of five for right at ten bucks! I’d say that’s a dinner win!

Notes
Home Chef Tip: While I strongly recommend using fresh bell peppers and onions in this recipe, to save time and money (depending on how expensive bell peppers are when you go to make this recipe), you could use 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen pepper and onion mix. No need to thaw, just toss frozen vegetables with oil and spices and continue with recipe as directed.
