“My family has been using this very simple and delicious recipe for sausage, peppers, and onions for years and years now. For an extra kick, try using half sweet sausage and half hot sausage!”
I think every Italian family makes this dish, with slight variations of course, within their own family traditions. While this is a fairly standard way of making sausage and peppers, my family uses olive oil rather than butter, uses little or no herbs (fresh basil is always nice here), red wine rather than white, and some crushed or diced canned tomatoes, or marinara sauce. Great on Italian rolls or over a sturdy pasta. This is always a treat!
Awesome recipe! My Mom showed me how to make sausage and peppers years ago and while I’m not even Italian I definitely LOVE the food! This is pretty much how my Mom taught me except I don’t add the basil or oregano. I aslo fry the veggies in olive oil vs. butter. This is great as a side for angel hair pasta with fresh marinara sauce and Italian bread!
For an easy, hearty dinner (or breakfast or lunch) buy fresh Italian pork fennel sausages, preferably from an Italian deli or butcher. Pair them with quickly stewed peppers and onions, splashed with vinegar, and fried eggs.
This is the EASIEST sausage and peppers recipe! It is made in one skillet, is so flavorful, and you can use chicken sausage, pork sausage, or any sausage you like! I like to find ones with minimal added ingredients.
You can get creative with how you serve this dish! I love it served over roasted spaghetti squash or cauliflower rice but I bet it would be great with gluten-free pasta or spiralized veggies as well! This sausage and peppers recipe is Paleo friendly, whole30 compliant, dairy-free, grain-free, and no sugar added!
Yesterday, I was home alone, so I wanted to cook something simple for myself. I made this sausage with peppers and onions, it was very good!
You’ll Need:
2 lbs of red potatoes.
2 large bell peppers.
1.5 onions.
6 hot Italian turkey sausages (20 oz).
1 tsp of garlic powder.
1 tsp of dried and crushed rosemary.
1 tbsp of olive oil.
Salt and pepper.
How to:
First clean the vegetables and cut the potatoes into ½’ to ¾’ pieces and cut the onions and peppers into 1’ pieces.
Place the veggies in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, salt and pepper.
Cut the sausages into 5 to 6 pieces each and refrigerate.
On a greased sheet pan, spread the veggies and bake in a preheated oven to 375° for 20 minutes.
Take out the pan and top the veggies with the sausage and bake for 35 more minutes. Toss halfway through.
