Sausage, Onions and Peppers is an easy weeknight dinner or a casual weekend dinner with friends. It’s also easy to make-ahead and keeps warm in the oven.
Sausage, Onions and Peppers is not something I grew up eating. In fact, I don’t think I had this combination until I started dating my husband, or should I say my Italian husband. While his immediate family were pretty good cooks; it was his extended family that really introduced the Italian classics.
I compare Sausage, Onions and Peppers to an all American Chicago Hotdog. It’s bursting with flavor and the large bun is overflowing with sauteed onions and peppers. It’s certainly not a dainty sandwich or something I would eat on my commute to work in the car.
If you’d rather not eat this in a sandwich roll, it’s great alone with a side salad or cole slaw. You can also cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces and place it all in a crockpot to serve to a large group.

Notes
I was inspired to create this blog by my daughter during her Christmas visit. I have spent the last few years photographing my food creations and sharing recipes so she suggested I take the plunge into full-out blogging – so here I go!
