Enjoy a quick, flavorful dinner with this Sausage and Pepper Skillet. You will love the savory sausage mixed with perfectly caramelized onions and peppers, all cooked in one pan for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the sliced peppers and onion to the skillet with the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. You want those nice brown edges!
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute more until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  6. Serve immediately, perhaps with some crusty bread to soak up the juices.

Notes

  • Amaya suggests using a mix of red and yellow peppers for the prettiest color.
  • For extra flavor, use sweet Italian sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
  • This dish reheats well for lunch the next day.
