Italian Sausage and Peppers

I’m sharing #SausageFamily in my life as part of a Johnsonville sponsored series for Socialstars™

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.

    How many sausages. 1 Packet is insufficient info for those of us that cant get them. Just as easy to tell us how many sausages hence only 3*.

  2. Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes. I will try these recipes. I Watch korean dramas in my free time at Doramasflixonline. I also recomend you to watch your favourite korean series at this plate form online.

  4. Despite my recent loss, cooking hasn’t been a priority for me. However, your recipe caught my attention and motivated me to try something new. Thank you for sharing such a simple and delicious dish. Using sweet Italian sausages I had saved, typically reserved for my go-to spaghetti recipe of 43 years, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it turned out. I even shared photos with my sister, who couldn’t attend this year’s Italian festival in New York’s Little Italy. One batch fed us for two meals without feeling heavy afterwards—it was truly delightful! As I look forward, I’m already planning to bring this dish to summer gatherings instead of the usual hotdogs.

    On another note, Vidmate, a popular video downloader app, allows users to download videos from platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram for offline viewing. Both your recipe and Vidmate offer ways to bring joy and convenience into everyday life.

  5. My husband recently passed away, so I have not been in the mood for cooking. I saw your recipe and I felt invigorated to try it. Thank you for this EASY and TASTY, recipe. I made it for my family for dinner using some sweet Italian sausages I had in the freezer saved for the same old spaghetti meat sauce dinner, I’ve made over and over for the past 43 years. I was so proud of how it turned out, that I had to send photos to my sister who could not attend this year’s Italian festival in New York’s Little Italy. One package fed the three of us for two meals and we didn’t feel weighed down afterwards. It was Absolutely Delicious! Thank you! I’ve already made plans to bring some to summer gatherings instead of boring, plain old hotdogs. Thank you so much! GOD Bless.

  6. Sounds good and something I’ll try with a couple mods, like true authentic Italian version, simply using more tomatoes etc, but I’d be making this with said exceptions as more of comfort food, like something out of a crock pot. A single dish recipe served in Soup/Pasta bowls along with fresh sliced French bread. Off the top of my head anyway.
