Hello, fall! This meal is the definition of cozy comfort food, and you’ll never believe just how easy and nourishing it really is.
We’re fully into the swing of the school routine, soccer practices (x3), and all of the daily chaos that comes along with the season. As a result, my time is limited and I’m always looking for new ways to mix up the dinnertime hustle with as little effort as possible!
HOW TO BAKE CHICKEN SAUSAGE, APPLES AND SWEET POTATOES:
Let’s start with the basic ingredients: sweet potatoes, apples, an onion, smoked chicken sausage, Savory Herb with Garlic dry seasoning, and olive oil.
Combine everything in your dish (or in a separate bowl):
Then whisk together the “sauce” by combining the olive oil with the dry seasoning mix.
Toss the sauce with the rest of the ingredients:
and transfer to the baking dish. See? Just dump-and-bake!
You’ll cover the dish with foil and bake it in a 400-degree oven for about 35 minutes. The end result is this rich, flavorful supper that’s full of fresh produce and smoked sausage — all coated in a delicious garlic and herb sauce.
The dump-and-bake sweet potatoes are truly Autumn on a plate, and I can’t wait for you to try it yourself! You’re going to love this one…

Recipe Notes

You can use any fully-cooked sausage, so pick the brand, flavor and ingredients that you love! Kielbasa would work well, too!

I love these favors together! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Karly! The best! 🙂
I will admit to being a bit worried about the flavor combos of this recipe, but both hubby and I thought it was terrific. I made the full recipe separated in two baking dishes. I will check out how the apples and sweet potatoes fare until Monday or Tuesday when I plan a do-over. If that doesn’t work out so well, it will be easy enough to combine half the sausage/onion/dry soup/olive oil mixture with separate sweet potato and apple mix-ins.
Thanks for what looks to be a “keeper” recipe
I’m so glad that you both enjoyed it, Wanda! Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
I loveeeeee this recipe. It’s such a perfect comfort dish to start fall season. I can’t find dry soup mix so instead I used sloppy joe mix (hahahha and it works wonderfully). I tried using Polska Kielbasa and it tasted sooooooo goooood!!! Even better the next day as leftover, definitely goes to my recipe book and I’m about to make it again for today’s dinner. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful dish. Love your blog especially dump-and-bake recipes 🙂
Yay! Good to know that it works with the sloppy jox mix, too! 🙂
I made this the other day and both my husband and I loved it ! I will add pineapple chunks as a side next time or maybe even add them in to cook with it . Thank you !
Sounds perfect, Karen! I love the idea of serving it with pineapple!
What would you substitute for the dry soup mix if I can’t find this particular one?
If you can’t find that particular mix, you can substitute with another similar soup and dip mix. The Lipton Onion mix is a very common item that I’m sure you can find in any grocery store, so that would be a good back-up. Here’s the link to that mix: http://www.liptonkitchens.com/product/detail/1059395/onion-soup-and-dip?gclid=CjwKCAiA4OvhBRAjEiwAU2FoJVPA3-WTWq1ksu0aletyUigKrcfammz3p2nFwfZ8M3LSzWUwbri1rhoCsP8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Amazing flavor!
Really want to try this recipe for camping. I usually cook at home then freeze it and reheat at the campsite in a skillet. Have you ever froze this and reheated it? Any tips or suggestions? Thank you!
Hey, Kerry! I honestly haven’t ever tried freezing and reheating this particular dish. I think it would probably work well, but I don’t have any specific tips to offer. 🙂
I was really happy with this recipe. My guys liked it too. Next time I will add a bit more seasoning and some pecans. Thanks for a new keeper recipe.
Thanks, Rudy! I’m glad that your family enjoyed it! 🙂
