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.

  1. 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.
