One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers

December 23, 2021 By Patricia 20 Comments

One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers is the best of a few things rolled into one meal. This dish is super-simple to make and it’s wonderful comfort food, too. The flavor is fabulous and it’s ideal to serve on a cold night. If you’re looking for comfort food recipes, look no further!

One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers is colorful, comforting and so easy to make!

The evening skies darken more quickly. The air is crisp and cold. Conversations about holiday plans swirl. This is the perfect time to make One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers.

When you’re looking for comfort food and a fuss-free meal, this one-skillet dish is the perfect solution.

You might also find that this easy recipe brings you to that “ah ha!” moment. You know what it’s like the week leading up to a big holiday: You have no room in the fridge, you’re tired of ingredient lists and grocery runs, and you’re exhausted.

You want something easy to make for dinner and you don’t necessarily want take out… again. Ah ha! One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers to the rescue!

You have options for how to serve One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers, too. Serve it atop rice or polenta (that’s how I enjoyed my leftovers the next day); on sandwich rolls (maybe with some melted Provolone over the top); or simply on its own with crusty bread on the side to help soak up all the juices.

I made this on a Sunday night after a day of getting through a bunch of chores, and before settling in for some football on TV. Yes, my family ate it sitting on the sofa cheering on our Cleveland Browns!

Not only is this dish so easy to make, you’ll find it ideal when you’re looking for comfort food.

You can use the sausage links of your choice for this dish. I used Italian sausage for its flavor and seasonings.

The same goes for the bell peppers: I used a combo of green and red bell peppers, but if you can only find one or the other (or if you’d like to use yellow or orange bell peppers) that works, too!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (about 4 large links)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Salt and black pepper to season
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

  3. Season with salt, black pepper, and the red pepper.
  4. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until they just begin to soften.
  5. Add about 1/4 cup of water to the mixture and stir to combine.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
