Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Sausage

    Start by slicing the Italian smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces, about ½ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin rings.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mozzarella

    Cut the fresh mozzarella into small cubes or tear it into pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Onions and Peppers

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the onions are caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the sautéed onions and peppers. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Mozzarella

    Remove the skillet from heat and add the mozzarella cheese on top of the sausage and vegetables. Let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese begins to melt.
