3 smoked sausages, sliced
1/2 bell peppers, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 mushrooms, sliced
2 squash, sliced

Instructions:

Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). 🔥
Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, prepare the Good Seasons Italian Dressing by combining the balsamic vinegar, water, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed. Measure out 1/2 cup of the dressing and set it aside for later use – the remaining dressing can be saved for another meal, as it makes an excellent salad dressing. 🥗
Prep ingredients: Slice the smoked sausages, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and squash, ensuring they are all uniform in size to ensure even cooking. 🥒🧅🍄
Combine ingredients: Place the sliced sausages and veggies in a shallow baking dish, such as a 9″x13″ pan. Pour the 1/2 cup of prepared dressing over the sausage and veggies, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. 🍽️
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the veggies to become tender. 😌
Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and serve the Sausage and Vegetable Bake hot, alongside some good crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices. Enjoy this hearty and comforting meal with your family and friends! 🥖🍲
