Howdy! Chef Alli Here. Let’s Get You Cookin’ ….Shall We??

I am the biggest fan in the land when it comes to sheet pan meals! I call them “one and done” dinners that save time, make meal clean-up easier, and there are no fancy ingredients needed.

Sheet pan meals are roasted at a high temperature which causes the ingredients to caramelize, becoming richer and deeper in flavor. Most sheet pan dinners feature a protein of choice with assorted vegetables, spices, and oil.

We enjoy seafood so I like to make the Low Country Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil for my family, especially in the summer when we can eat this meal outdoors.

And, because I try to stock up on pork tenderloins when they go on sale, I make Roast Pork Tenderloin as a sheet pan meal often, too. I love to cook pork tenderloin and since it doesn’t have any bones, it’s a great value and roasts really quickly.

Easy Recipe Tips for Making Sheet Pan Meals –

• Does it matter what type of baking sheet I use for making sheet pan dinners?

Use a nice, heavy baking sheet with a rimmed edge for making sheet pan dinners. The rimmed edge keeps the everything contained (instead of all over the floor!) and a heavy-duty baking sheet also makes the ingredients cook quickly and helps to caramelize them, too.

• What’s the best way to serve a sheet pan meal?

Another great thing about sheet pan dinners is how easy they are to serve. I usually take my straight from the oven to the center of my dinner table. I add a couple of servings spoon and then let my family serve themselves. Just add some bread and butter and you’ve got dinner done.

• Can I make sheet pan meals ahead of time and bake them when we are ready to eat?

You can definitely assemble sheet pan meals ahead of time, then bake them when you are ready to cook dinner. I’ve assembled my sheet pan meals up to 8 hours in advance, covering them with foil until I’m ready to bake.

• I’m a bit confused about all the different sausages that are available at the grocery store. How do I know which kind to buy for this recipe?

This is a great question. In this recipe, you’ll see that the sausage and broccoli are added to the sheet pan dinner as part of the last step and cook for just 10 minutes. That’s because the sausage this recipe calls for is pre-cooked; if you were using raw sausages, you’d have to cook the sausage much longer.

Where will I find the pre-cooked sausages at the grocery store?

Typically at most grocery stores, you will find pre-cooked sausage near the lunch meats and hot dogs (both of which are pre-cooked as well, of course). You will be looking for the sausages called polish sausage, kielbasa sausage, smoked sausage, andouille sausage, etc, and most of these will be packaged in cryovac. If you read the fine print, you will see that it does say on the package that these types of sausages are fully cooked.

However, if you go to the meat department where sausages are sold, you’ll easily be able to tell that the sausages here are raw, uncooked meat – definitely not what you want for a quick-cooking sheet pan recipe like this.
