Speedy Sausage & Pepper Skillet

Speedy Sausage & Pepper Skillet ingredients

• 1 lb Italian sausage links
• 2 large Bell peppers (any color)
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

How to make Speedy Sausage & Pepper Skillet

1. Remove the casings from the 1 lb Italian sausage links, then crumble the sausage into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven.
2. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then remove the sausage and set it aside in a bowl.
3. While the sausage cooks, thinly slice the 2 large bell peppers and 1 medium yellow onion. You want pieces roughly similar in size for even cooking.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the hot oil.
5. Sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and begun to caramelize lightly around the edges.
6. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
7. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine the flavors and ensure everything is heated through.
8. Serve hot directly from the skillet, or transfer to individual plates. This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or crusty bread, if desired.
