minutesIngredients
1 lb. sweet or hot sausage, cut into 8 links
2-3 fryer or bell peppers, red or green, sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
4-6 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (if desired)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 cup broth or water
1/4 tsp. salt and black pepper to taste
To serve: Sliced rolls, provolone cheese (if desired)
Directions
- Using a fork, poke holes all over sausage links.
- Preheat a grill pan or a grill over medium high heat. Grill sausage on all sides until nicely browned. About 8-10 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, heat up a high-rimmed skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. Once heated, add peppers and onions. Brown, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes. Add crushed garlic, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for 2-3 minutes more.
- Add broth or water and bring to a simmer.
- Add grilled sausage to the pan with the peppers and onions. Cover and simmer on low for 5 minutes.
- Serve on a crusty roll if desired. I like to put a slice of provolone on mine. You may also enjoy sausage and peppers without a roll!
