MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Feb 21, 2013) - (Family Features) Getting dinner on the table fast during a busy week need not cause a panic -- or a call for carryout. With this simple recipe and five key ingredients, supper is served in just 20 minutes.
Begin with a pantry staple that can be the starting point for lots of great meals -- a can of READ German Potato Salad. This ready-to-serve salad makes a savory side dish to accompany all kinds of entrees, but it's so much more versatile. Think of it as a base for a hearty soup, a casserole or a skillet meal like Quick Sausage and German Potato Salad Skillet.
Thinly sliced potatoes, deliciously seasoned with a vinegary-bacon dressing, make a perfect pairing with smoked sausage and a quick sauté of onion wedges and colorful bell peppers. Think of the prep time and number of ingredients saved by beginning with the potato salad. And by choosing pre-cooked sausages, which can be browned and heated in about five minutes, cooking time is greatly reduced.
Add a mixed greens salad, perhaps topped with apple or pear slices, and dinner is done. How quick, easy and appetizing is that?
