Sausage

Method

Cooking the Sausage

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage links. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.

  2. 2

    Cook Thoroughly

    Once browned, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to ensure the sausage is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

Sautéing Peppers and Onions

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Flavor

    Stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the spices are well incorporated.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the cooked Italian sausage links and arrange them on a plate over the sautéed peppers and onions. Serve hot.
