Ingredients

Let’s Make Sausage, Onions and Peppers

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Sausage: Opt for fresh, high-quality sausage. Don’t be afraid to experiment with spicy or mild options.
• Slicing: For even cooking, cut the peppers and onions into uniform sizes. This ensures that they soften at the same rate as the sausage.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches if necessary. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of sautéing, which won’t give you that lovely caramelization and flavor.
• Serving: Serve the sausage, peppers, and onions with fresh crusty bread, over pasta, or in a hoagie roll. Toppings like provolone or mozzarella cheese can add a deliciously melty finish.
