Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    1 pound Italian sausage

Vegetables

  • 1
    2 large bell peppers
  • 2
    1 medium yellow onion
  • 3
    2 cloves garlic cloves

Seasoning

  • 1
    1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2
    0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3
    0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 4
    0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Oil

  • 1
    2 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1

Prepare Vegetables

Carefully wash all of the vegetables. Dice the bell peppers and onion into 1/2 inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Be careful when using a sharp knife.

2

Preheat Skillet

Place a large skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat for about a minute until it is shimmering. This means it's hot enough to cook with. Be careful, hot oil can cause burns.

3

Cook Sausage

Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, until it is fully browned. This usually takes about 7-10 minutes. Make sure to cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for food safety. When fully cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.

Sauté Vegetables

Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the remaining sausage drippings. Cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should become translucent.

5

Add Aromatics

Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the vegetables. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

6

Combine Ingredients

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

7

Simmer

Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. The sauce will thicken and the flavors will come together.

Recipe Tips

  • For a lower-carb option, serve the sausage and pepper mixture in lettuce wraps instead of a bowl.
  • You can add a can of diced tomatoes to the skillet for a saucier dish.
  • Use different colors of bell peppers for a more visually appealing dish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • Ensure that the sausage is cooked to 165°F (74°C) to prevent foodborne illnesses.
  • Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature of the sausage.
  • Make sure to clean your cutting board and utensils properly after handling raw meat.
