Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 12 oz sliced smoked sausage, 1 lb halved baby potatoes, 1 medium red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces, and 1 large yellow onion cut into thick wedges with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme until everything is well coated.
2. Step 2: Spread the mixture into a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender and the sausage starts to crisp on the edges.
3. Step 3: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly sprinkle 1 cup shredded Wisconsin cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
