Sausage and Peppers

Sausage and Peppers

Sausage and peppers is a hearty Italian-American skillet of juicy sausage with sweet peppers and onions. Savory, colorful, and satisfying, it comes together in one pan. Serve it on a hoagie roll, over pasta, or with crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 6 Italian sausage links
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausages in an oiled skillet on all sides, then set aside.
  2. Add the peppers and onions and cook until softened and lightly charred.
  3. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Slice the sausages and return them to the pan.
  5. Add a splash of water and simmer 10 minutes until everything is tender.
  6. Serve on rolls or over pasta.

💡 Chef's tip

Slice the peppers and onions thick so they soften but keep some bite rather than turning to mush.

Browning the sausage first and then cooking the peppers in the rendered fat builds a savory base that seasons the whole dish.
