Sizzling Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions: A Savory Delight

Serving: This dish can be served on its own, with crusty bread for dipping, or in a soft hoagie roll for a flavorful sandwich. It also pairs beautifully with a side of roasted potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent drying out.
Variants
Spicy Version: For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage, and add extra red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños when sautéing the vegetables.
Vegetarian Version: Swap the Italian sausage for plant-based sausage or omit it entirely and use mushrooms for a savory vegetarian dish.
Add More Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or tomatoes to the sautéed peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture.
FAQ
Q: Can I cook the sausages in the oven instead of on the stovetop?
A: Yes, you can bake the sausages in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Then, sauté the vegetables in the skillet as instructed and combine them with the sausages at the end.

Q: Can I use different kinds of sausages for this recipe?
A: Absolutely! You can use any type of sausage you prefer, including chicken, turkey, or even bratwurst. Adjust the cooking time based on the type of sausage you use.

Q: How do I prevent the vegetables from becoming too soft?
A: Be sure to sauté the peppers and onions over medium heat, allowing them to soften gradually while caramelizing. Avoid cooking on too high heat, as this can cause them to burn or become mushy.
