Step 4: Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
Step 5: Combine Sausage and Vegetables
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Stir gently and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot over your choice of rice, pasta, or in a sandwich roll for a classic sausage and peppers sub. This dish also pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or even a simple side salad.
Tips for Perfection
- Use colorful bell peppers – Red, yellow, and orange peppers are sweeter and add visual appeal.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables – They should remain slightly crisp to maintain texture.
- Try different sausages – Sweet Italian, spicy Italian, or even chicken sausage can change the flavor profile.
- Make it saucy – For a richer dish, add a splash of tomato sauce or a few tablespoons of chicken broth while simmering.
This Peppers, Onions, and Sausage dish is perfect for weeknight dinners, family meals, or even meal prep. With its vibrant colors, savory aroma, and simple steps, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser every time.
