Introduction
This is from the Now and Later cookbook(Hearyty recipes that turn one meal into two) it takes 20 minutes prep and 20 min to bake/cook. Serves 6 plus leftovers not counting the amount you put aside to make dinner another night. If you are going to make the Sausage Shepherds Pie within 3 days then use the 8 sausage as 4 of them are for the other recipe, if not simply use 4 of the mild sausage. The vegetable I personally wouldn't change as I LIKE having a lot of vegetables. The more the merrier!

Ingredients
-
8 italian sausage (mild) 1 1/2 lbs (If your making this as 1 dinner and don't plan to make the Sausage Shephards Pie cut the Sausages to 4 instead of 8, Also you could cut back a bit on the vegetables if you like - I wouldnt though. The leftovers are wonderful.)
4 assorted color bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 sweet onions, sliced
3 zuchini (or more if you like. You can also use yellow squash if you want. I mixed and matched)
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced(or if you have the garlic in a jar, like I do, I put in a couple teaspoons worth)
1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed. ( I did not use since I had none)
1/2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon honey
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cutp thinly sliced fresh basil(I had none)
Directions
Preheat oven to 475 F
Place sausage in 1 1/2 quart shallow baking dish and bake until cooked through roughly 15-25 minutes. When cooked transfer sausagesto cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, spray a 12 inch non stick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender - about 6 minutes.
Stir in honey and vinegar.
(Transfer 2 cups of the vegetables and 4 of the sausage to a container and let cool. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days for later use in Sausage Shepherds Pie. )
Slice the 4 remaining sausage , stir in the remaining cooked vegetables and sprinkle with basil.
Now - I did not use basil or the fennel seeds but it turned out very good.
