Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the green bell pepper and onion into small pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Once the sausage is browned, add the chopped green bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Mix in Spices

    Sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt over the sausage and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and evenly incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Remove from heat and serve the sausage and cheese mixture hot, either as a filling for sandwiches or on its own.
