The Food Factor: Sweet ’n’ Savory Skillet

Video by Jonathan Parrish

This Sweet ’n’ Savory Skillet recipe blends the savory flavor of the sausage together with sweet apples for a satisfying meal that is pleasing to the taste buds.

And there’s a bonus: It only takes one pan to make this dish. Let’s face it -- no one wants to scrub dishes after a meal, especially during the week.

If you can’t find chicken sausage, use your favorite precooked turkey, pork, or beef sausage. Pears are another firm fruit to use in this recipe. Be creative!

Crew review: We all like the original version of this recipe. But when we make this at home, we all agreed we’d add some onion, bell pepper, and sweet potato to the skillet.
