Sausage and peppers is one of those meals that always hits the spot on a busy weeknight. It is simple to make in one pan, and the combination of savory meat with tender, colorful vegetables is hard to beat.

My best tip for this recipe is to make sure you get a nice sear on your sausages before adding the peppers. That extra bit of color adds so much depth to the flavor of the final dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausages
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the sausages to the pan and cook them until they are browned on all sides, then remove them from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the same pan and cook until they are softened and starting to caramelize.

  4. 4

    Stir in the minced garlic and oregano, cooking for about one minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in the white wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

  6. 6

    Return the sausages to the pan, cover, and simmer for about ten minutes until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly.

  7. 7

    Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve these sausages in toasted hoagie rolls for a classic sandwich experience, or keep it light by serving them over steamed rice or cauliflower rice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
