Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan.
  2. 2
    Brown the sausage in the oil until you get a nice color on the outside and you no longer see any"pink".
  3. 3
    Remove the sausage and drain on a paper towel.
  4. 4
    Keep the heat going on the pan and add onions and peppers (do not add any additional oil).
  5. 5
    Cook the onions and peppers approximately 5 minutes or until onions start to become translucent.
  6. 6
    During this time, slice the sausage down the middle, do not cut all the way through, just enough so you can open the sausage and"fan" them out.
  7. 7
    Add salt and pepper over the onion/pepper mixture and turn heat down to simmer.
  8. 8
    Place sausage on top of onions and peppers and cover.

This recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I've made this a bunch of times and each time it gets better and better! The only thing I did differently was add a splash of white wine at the end. Great meal Jennifer! Thanks for sharing!

    Great basic recipe! I used hot sausage, green bell peppers, and added small chunks of baking potato at the same time I put in the bell pepper and onion, which we prefer as a starch to having bread on the side. Splitting the sausages really does cut the cooking time.

    Lovely, tasty sausage recipe, we used hot Italian sausage and I only had half a red pepper so I used half a green one also. Just made half a recipe for the two of us, DH loved them!! Instead of Italian bread I served the on top of baked potatoes. Worked out really good, made a great Saturday night quick supper. Thanks for sharing, we will be making these again.

    Yum, Yum and Yum!!! Served on Italian rolls with fries and a salad. Super easy and I like how the sausage gets sliced and put back on the heat...at least you don't have to guess when it is done. Thanks!
