Sausages & Bell Peppers

I've been making this dish for years & finally got around to posting! I prefer Tomato Basil Sausages from our local butcher but I've also used Italian (hot or sweet) and Octoberfest sausages. Just don't use those skinny little breakfast links. The "sauce" is delicious with plain steamed rice!

Sorry, I thought this was quite bland. I felt the it needed a lot more black pepper perhaps, or maybe you need to use the hot sausages to give it the extra flavour. I used really nice toulouse sausages, though, which I thought would be good with this, but was disappointed.

    Quick, tasty and easy. I used red bell peppers and green peppers that are known as "Italian" peppers around here. I also used local sausage, longaniza, and was too lazy to go and buy tomatoes so I used a bit more tomato sauce! I also cooked the sauce for quite a long time, as I don't like my cooked peppers in any way hard. The sauce would be lovely, as CountryLady said, by itself, or even with veggie sausages.

    This was absolutely wonderful. I have made sausage, peppers and onions before, but I never used this method. The boiling and adding garlic & fresh tomatoes were new for me. We had it as is and also on Italian rolls and it's just fabulous. I will confess that I used a can of pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce(I only had giant cans of tomato sauce and didn't want to open one for such a small amount). Other than that, followed to a "T" and it was really delicious. The kids can't wait to have more tomorrow!

    I was outside doing yard work when the aroma hit me. I came into the house and told my wife I don't know what you're cooking, but you better have enough for the rest of the neighborhood! This is a terrific recipie. My wife used a 14oz can of diced tomatoes instead of the fresh ones. Thank you CountryLady!
