Cooked Pork Sausage Meatballs Yams cauliflower Recipe in a platter featured image

One-pan recipes are super easy to make for any weeknight meal. This week's dinner recipe is made with pork sausage, yams, cauliflower, and yellow squash among other veggies. A great fall dish for those leftover garden veggies. This Pork Sausage Meatballs Yams Cauliflower recipe has yellow squash in it but it doesn't need to be added if you don't like the texture. I used it because I had it.

I also had two pork sausage patties that I did not want to make burgers with it. So, instead, I made meatballs by using a tablespoon and rolling the tablespoon of meat rolled into a ball. The pork sausage patties have flavors in the sausage meat so I didn't need to add any flavoring to it. Yay!

Cut out the core of the cauliflower and cut the florets into 1-inch size pieces. If they are larger, you can cut the florets in half.

Cut the red pepper into 2-inch strips. Set aside. Peel two yams and cut into 1-inch cubes. Set aside. Cut half of a red onion into quarters. They should be about 2-3 inches long. Set aside.
