Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    0.75 lb Italian Sausage

Vegetables

  • 1
    1 each Bell Pepper
  • 2
    1 each Onion
  • 3
    2 each Garlic Cloves

Grains

  • 1
    1 cup Cooked Rice or Quinoa

Seasonings

  • 1
    0.5 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 2
    0.25 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 3
    0.5 tsp Salt
  • 4
    0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Liquids

  • 1
    1 tbsp Olive Oil

Directions

1

Prep Vegetables

Ensure all vegetables are properly washed. Dice the bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. It is important to ensure garlic is minced properly to allow for even flavoring.

2

Heat Skillet

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. A large cast iron or stainless steel skillet works well, but any large pan will do. Be careful not to overheat the oil, as it can splatter when other ingredients are added.

3

Cook Sausage

Add the Italian sausage to the hot skillet. Break the sausage apart using a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.

Sauté Vegetables

Add the diced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Stir well to combine. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the onions become translucent and the peppers are tender.

5

Add Spices

Stir in the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to bloom, enhancing their flavor. The mixture will become fragrant.

6

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked rice or quinoa to the skillet. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the grains are heated through and coated with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and hot.

7

Rest and Adjust

Remove from heat and let the mixture rest for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Recipe Tips

  • For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Use your favorite color of bell pepper for visual appeal.
  • For a lower-carb option, substitute cauliflower rice for regular rice or quinoa.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
