Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions on a Rustic Wooden Board

This classic Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions recipe is a flavorful and satisfying meal. Sweet bell peppers and savory sausage combine for a simple yet delicious dish perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or hot), casings removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Hoagie rolls or crusty bread, for serving (optional)
  • Mustard or marinara sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the olive oil, sliced onion, and sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Serve the Italian sausage with peppers and onions on hoagie rolls or crusty bread, if desired. Top with mustard or marinara sauce, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage. Serve with a side salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
