This is an easy, stick-to-your-ribs meal. However, I would recommend one change. If you use raw potatoes, the peppers burn before the potatoes are cooked through. I microwaved the potatoes for a several minutes, and then I peeled and sliced them. Cook the potatoes on medium high heat, then turn down the heat and add the peppers and sausage.
This is "giambotta" in Italian which is where I would guess the "Jumbutt" came from. It is one of those recipes where you may throw just about anything in the pan. Leftover cooked meat any vegetables eggs (or not)--whatever. We always toss in some peppers onions pepper fresh basil and oregano but it's not absolutely necessary. It's great however you like it.
I made this 20 years ago using hotdogs in place of sausage. An Italian friend taught me the recipe back then. I was looking for something simple to make for dinner tonight and came across this recipe. I had forgotten all about this dish. I'd never heard it called by this name though. Whatever it's called it's simple and satisfying. Thanks for the reminder.
I used ground pork (cheaper by the pound than buying pre-seasoned "rolls of pork sausage or sausage links) that I seasoned using a seperate recipe for italian sausage. I used two red bell peppers and omitted the green (we just don't care for them) I used the last two organic red potatoes I had on hand (that I parboiled quickly--as I just stink at hashbrown potatoes when the potatoes are raw) and because I had extra vegetables I needed to use I also added in fresh minced garlic chopped onion sliced mushrooms and right before adding the eggs chopped tomato. Right before serving I sprinkled the skillet with sharp white cheddar. Very cheap to make and I was able to stretch my skillet to feed four extra hungry people and make it a little healthier to boot. GREAT brinner side. I topped mine with a little homemade salsa. VERY very filling. I am quite thankful for this recipe as it really saved my behind today.
THIS IS A GREAT WEEK NIGHT MEAL TO FIX. VERY TASTEY AND EASY TO MAKE. THANKS FOR SHARING.
My husband loves this! I usually make it with a little less bell pepper but I throw in other things like a zucchini or a couple chile or jalapeno peppers.
We used turkey sausage and cut out the eggs (husband doesn't like them). It was just like a kabob to us. Might make it again with the eggs to see if it helps. Potatoes needed more time to cook they were a bit raw.
I used Turkey sausage to make it a bit healthier but other than that I followed the recipe. I served this for my in-laws and they really liked it. I liked the combination of everything in one dish. I'll keep this one around for sure.
Made this for breakfast with a few additions and 1 subtraction. First added another sausage only 2 potatoes some real bacon bits some fresh spinach and some mozza cheese on top. I parcooked the potatoes in the microwave too for 4 minutes...good hint went much quicker! Hubby loved it..when I asked "can't talk eating he said...mmmm!"
