One pot meal, one pan dinner, tray bake, one pot wonder…you know the deal. Super simple cook & cleanup! Well here’s another one…
Bacon Wrapped Sausages with Apples & Potatoes – this meal is one of our home favourites.
Cheap & cheerful, and packed with smoky bacon flavour – and as you know from many of my other recipes – one of my go-to’s is “bacon makes everything better”. We eat a lot of bacon in our house, I reckon that if bacon was a vegetable then my husband Peter could be a vegetarian! (It would be only way to convert him!)
See those nice dark bits on the edge of the pan? They are the best bits! The recipe includes lemon juice, and the natural sugars in the juice tend to caramelize as the whole thing bakes……mmmmmmm…….sooo goood…….
That’s enough drooling, time for dinner. Can you guess what we’re having???
That’s right – you guessed it,
Bacon Wrapped Sausages with Apples & Potatoes (reheated from yesterday morning’s photo shoot – but still good!)
Enjoy,

Recipe Notes
The recipe calls for red delicious apples, but you might have looked at the photo and thought "hang on, the apple slices look different colours - that can't be right, they must be different varieties" but that's just the way they cooked up. I suppose maybe one apple was slightly older than the other? even though they were both purchased fresh a day or two before cooking. Just thought I would mention it.
