This Italian Sausage and Peppers recipe will be a life saver for the nights when you have no idea what to make for dinner. It’s incredibly flavorful but also simple to make.
The red onion will caramelize nicely and add a nice sweetness to the flavor that really compliments the sausage. If you’re a garlic lover, add a clove or two of minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes before you want to serve. Be careful because if you over cook the garlic, it will get bitter, so it’s important to add it at the end. Enjoy!
