  1. 1

    Start the Sausage and Peppers

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary. Break into bite-sized pieces.

    Evenly divide sausage and peppers between both provided trays.

    Evenly top each tray with 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 15-18 minutes.

    Carefully remove trays from oven and drain any excess liquid.

  2. 2

    Add the Orzo

    Evenly divide orzo, potato spice seasoning, tomatoes, peas, and chicken base between both trays. Add 1/4 cup water to each tray and stir to combine. Trays will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Cover both trays with foil.

  3. 3

    Finish the Meal

    Bake again covered in hot oven until orzo is heated through, 15-18 minutes.

    Carefully remove trays from oven.

    Evenly top both trays with butter and half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish). Stir until melted and combined. Trays will be hot! Use a utensil.

    To serve, top orzo with remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
