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.

    1. This is a wonderful dish, and has become a staple at our house! I serve it over some Penne Pasta. with some wonderful red wine and grate some Parmigiano-Reggiano on it. It is wonderful, and a real keeper. Thank you!

  1. Easy to put together.. Family and friends enjoyed them on the hoagie roll outside on the deck. I prepared ahead which is great when your entertaining family and friends for a casual get together.. I didn’t have a can of chopped tomatoes so I used more tomato paste with about a half cup of chicken broth. Was delicious.

  2. This came out so good. My boyfriend who hates tomatoes didn’t mind the tomatoes and also enjoyed this meal. He said it was a 10/10.

  3. Trying to watch your video….sausage and peppers. Partway through, it gets interrupted by an ad, then when the ad ends, it rolls into a different recipe. WTH?

  4. Delicious. Made exactly as written except I used hot sausage so I eliminated the hot pepper. It’s a keeper! Easy great dish for a big party.

  5. I really liked your Italian sausage and green pepper recipe I’ve been making sausage and peppers for long time I’ll be making this recipe from now on👌

      Spicy Italian sausage is simmered with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, garlic, oregano, and basil.

  6. Great recipe, I substituted fresh tomatoes and added 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar to the cut tomatoes along with some salt and pepper and a table spoon of olive oil.

  7. Soooo good!! I doubled the amount of red pepper flakes because I like spice, but other than that, I made the recipe according to the instructions and it was delicious! I put mine over some jasmine rice, and it made enough for about 5 days of meal prep!

  8. I’ve got to say, one of the best S & P recipes I’ve tried. I used 8 spicy Italian sausages and used about 2 1/2 peppers (red & green combo) and 2 1/2 thinly wedged yellow onion. Also used fire roasted garlic diced tomatoes and jarred minced garlic. I also only used a healthy pinch of red pepper flakes. The rest of the recipe was made as written. So quick and so delicious (though it really made a mess on my stove… small price to pay!).

  9. I love this recipe! It’s the only one I use for sausage, peppers and onions. It’s easy to make once you slice all the peppers and onions!

  10. Great recipe & super easy which Is something that id important to me . I used Italian seasoning instead of the various spices and I also used the beyond plant based Italian hot sausages. I think next time I’ll try the sweet Italian ones . It was really good and comforting meal that was pretty simple and straightforward to make !Would definitely recommended!

    This sounds very much like a sausage and pepper recipe I used to make in the ’80. It was from a Campbell Soup recipe book. Unfortunately, they stopped making the tomato soup that was used in it, it was not your normal tomato soup. I haven’t tried to make it since, but we loved it over rice. I’ll try this one sounds great.

  12. This was a really good recipe. I added a little extra red pepper flakes for the heat. Overall a really good tasty recipe. Worth giving it a try. 💗
