Sausage & Peppers

Mom always cooked Italian sausage with peppers and nothing else. Then, the cooked sausage and peppers would be served in good French bread. You don't need anything else for this easy and delicious dish.

Mom always used sweet sausage. You can get the Italian sausage anywhere, but my favorite place to get the sausage is Paulina Meat Market. Also, Mom always used green bell peppers, but I suppose any bell pepper would do.

The sausage and peppers can be served without the bread. Occasionally, I add Marsala wine after the sausage is brown and reduce the wine. Sometimes, I will add onions when I add in the peppers. But Mom's version is always just sausage and peppers and always tasty.

Sausage & Peppers

• 5 Italian Sausages
• 3 large bell peppers
• Bread to make sandwiches

Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and place on stove top on medium heat. Place sausages in the pan and brown each side, about five minutes per side.

While the sausage is browning, wash and slice the peppers in to thin strips about one to two inches long. After the sausage is browned, add the peppers. You may need to add a little water at this point. Cover the skillet and allow to cook until the sausages a cooked through and the peppers are tender, about ten minutes or so. Stir occasionally to be sure there is even cooking.
