Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 ½ lbs Italian sausage
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Oils & Fats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Brown Sausage: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and brown on all sides until fully cooked and nicely seared, about 7-8 minutes.
- Slice the Sausage: Remove the browned sausage from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Then slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces to prepare for the next step.

- Simmer Together: Return the sliced sausage to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low and simmer everything together for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausage to heat through.

- Adding a splash of white wine or tomato sauce during the simmer step enhances flavor complexity.
