I usually keep a bag of frozen veggies on hand for this easy recipe and to make dinner prep even easier. These are the ingredients I use, but I customize them as needed. This is a great recipe with easy-to-find ingredients at your local grocery store.
Sausage: I used uncooked Bratwurst, but you can choose your sausage. Use what you have on hand or like best.
Fresh Vegetables: I chose zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, onion, and radish. Use some veggies you like and what you have in your produce drawer. Some vegetables take longer to cook.
