One Pot Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta

June 18, 2018 by becky 6 Comments

One Pot Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta- A delicious quick and easy meal that is full of flavor! Leftovers taste amazing too!

One Pot Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta

For Father’s Day I had my kids fill out an “All About Dad” questionnaire and for his favorite food, my son put this Sausage Pasta. This is our #1 favorite dinner recipe and I make it at least once or twice a month! I’ve been making a similar recipe like today’s One Pot Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta but it was spicier so my little kids didn’t like it. Over the last few months I’ve been tweaking the recipe to make it work for my entire family and today I present to you our perfect recipe!

One Pot Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta

The ingredients are simple. You start out with smoked sausage, and finely diced onions and bell peppers. I dice it finely so my kids hardly notice it. After that has sauteed garlic is added.

Then the hardest part is behind you! Just add chicken broth, a can of diced tomatoes, cream or milk, pasta, and salt and pepper and then once the pasta is cooked through just stir in the cheese and dinner is ready!

This is seriously my kids #1 favorite recipe I make. They love it because it tastes so good and I love it for that reason but also because it’s so quick and easy for me to prepare and leftovers taste amazing!

This recipe is also a little flexible too so you can add a little more veggies or omit something you don’t like. Also, if you don’t mind a little spice, you can use a can of Rotel instead of diced tomatoes. It’s up to you! And not super fancy but sometimes I add cheddar cheese on top because my kids love it.

I hope you enjoy our family’s favorite dinner recipe!
