Description

This super easy Sausage and Peppers recipe is sooo good and screams low-effort, high-reward. Sautéed bell peppers and onions with hunks of juicy sausage and extra flavor from Italian seasoning and garlic. Serve with steamed rice for a perfect meal!


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 large white onion, sliced into half-moons
  • 12-13 ounce sausage links, sliced on a bias into rounds
  • 8 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning or herbs de provence
  • Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Steamed white rice or rice of choice, for serving- optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions and sauté until tender and lightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. If your mixture is browning too quickly, reduce the heat while sautéing. 
  2. Add the sausage rounds and stir well to combine with the peppers/onions. Continue cooking the mixture until the sausage achieves a golden brown color, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Next, add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning/herbs de provence, and salt/pepper- to taste and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until everything melds nicely.
  4. Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve the sausage and peppers immediately on top of steamed rice, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Sausage and peppers will keep for 3-4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
