Italian Sausage and Peppers

 

This simple and delicious Italian Sausage and Peppers recipe is a breeze to whip up for a family meal. It’s a classic meal that never gets old. Serve it over rice or pasta or stuff it into hoagie rolls for a filling dinner the whole family will enjoy.

Flavorful chunks of Italian sausage are combined with diced tomatoes, garlic, oregano, basil, lots of red and green bell pepper and onion. It’s a comforting meal but light enough to be enjoyed on a warm summer day.

For this Italian Sausage and Peppers recipe I used Johnsonville Natural Italian Sausage. Johnsonville Naturals is a new product line that not only includes Italian Sausage, but 3 flavors of bratwurst too: White Cheddar, Jalapeno Cheddar, and Andouille.

    Perfect as is! We absolutely love this recipe! I put mine on take and bake small dinner rolls and my husband prefers his over mashed potatoes. Either way it’s absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe!

    Hi there.

    I just wanted to say thank you for the recipe. I cooked it for my family tonight and everyone was delighted with it, it was delicious.

    I was lucky to have some really good sausage, high meat content. Lovely spices and a hint of fennel.

    The sharpness of the sauce really complimented the richness of the meat. I added the chilli and it gave the dish a gorgeous background warmth, nothing outrageous. I happened to have some sweet peppers and I added one of those too. I think it worked well.

    Have added to my recipe book and will make again.

    Thanks again!

    This was delicious! I used mild sausages. I also left out the red pepper flakes because I did not want it to be hot! I will definitely make this again.
