Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic one-pan Italian-American dish featuring juicy sausage, sweet bell peppers, and caramelized onions, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a hearty sandwich filling.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb sweet or hot Italian sausage links
• 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
• 1 large onion, sliced into half-moons
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
• 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage links and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausages to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in chicken broth and tomato paste (if using). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Return sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the peppers and onions. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes until sausages are cooked through (internal temperature 160°F).
6. Uncover and cook for another 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Serve hot as a main dish or on crusty rolls.

Tips

• For extra flavor, use a mix of sweet and hot sausages.
• Serve with crusty bread or over polenta for a complete meal.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
