Sausage and Peppers Recipe
A quick and easy skillet dish featuring savory kielbasa sausage and colorful bell peppers, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Divided,
- 12-14 ounces Sausage Cut into thin rounds for cooking.
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Cut into thin strips
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper Cut into thin strips.
- 1 small Yellow Onion Cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 4 cloves Garlic Minced
- Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional
- 1 Green Onion Sliced,
- Fresh Chopped Parsley or Basil For garnish.
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage rounds and cook until browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining olive oil, followed by the bell peppers and onions. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute.
- Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute to heat through, stirring to combine all ingredients well.
- Garnish generously with red pepper flakes, green onion, and parsley or basil. Serve the skillet hot, as is, or over rice or noodles.
Notes
- Customize spice level by adjusting red pepper flakes.
- For a smokier flavor, consider grilling the ingredients briefly before skillet cooking.
- Use leftovers in wraps or sandwiches for a quick lunch.
