Ingredients
(Included in your Wholesome Farms box unless noted otherwise)
- 4 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
- 3 bell peppers, sliced (any combo of red, yellow, green)
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: cooked rice, pasta, or sandwich rolls for serving
How to Make It
Step 1: Brown the sausage.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add sausage links and cook until browned on all sides (about 7–8 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
Step 2: Sauté the veggies.
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Season with minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: Finish cooking sausage.
Slice the browned sausages into 1-inch pieces and return to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5–7 minutes, until sausage is fully cooked through and juices run clear.
Step 4: Serve your way.
Enjoy sausage and peppers on their own, over rice or pasta, or stuffed into toasted sandwich rolls for the ultimate sausage hoagie.
