SUPER EASY SAUSAGE & PEPPERS

Super Easy Sausage & Peppers image

A simple and delicous way to serve sausage and peppers with a tomato sauce base. This is one of my husband and kids favorite meals. They like it served over rice because it makes alot of "gravy" that soaks into the rice. It's one of my favorites because it's quick, easy and has only a few ingredients that I usually have on hand.

EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Easy Italian Sausage and Peppers image

My Mom made these often when I was growing up and I have always loved them! I think this is the most authentic and traditional way to make these.Traditional Sausage and Peppers do NOT have tomato sauce! We always ate them on Italian sub rolls with mustard but you could eat these alone with good crusty bread on the side. This serves 8 and can easily be scaled down or increased depending on how many you want to feed.

Ingredients

8 hot Italian sausages (if you prefer) or 8 italian sweet sausage (if you prefer)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, halved and sliced
2 large red peppers, seeded and sliced
1 green pepper, seeded and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
8 Italian rolls
mustard (optional)

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large pan, over medium heat.
Add the sausages and cook, turning frequently.
You want them browned all over and this takes about 10 minutes.
Add the onions and stir up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
Then after another 2 minutes, add the peppers, garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
After lowering the heat cook for another 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sausages are cooked through.

Tips:

Use a variety of peppers: Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange. Each color has a slightly different flavor, so using a mix of colors will add depth and complexity to your dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and peppers, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of fry, and you'll end up with a soggy mess.
Season to taste: Be sure to season the sausage and peppers with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
Serve with your favorite sides: Sausage and peppers can be served with a variety of sides, such as pasta, rice, or potatoes. You can also serve it with a side salad or a crusty piece of bread.

Conclusion:

Sausage and peppers is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, give sausage and peppers a try.
