Sausage and Peppers

Ingredients

• 1½ lb Italian sausage
• 3 bell peppers
• 1 yellow onion
• 3 clove garlic
• 15 oz crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)
• 4 slices crusty bread (optional)

Steps

1. Slice bell peppers and onion into strips, and mince the garlic.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and brown them on all sides, then remove from skillet.
3. Add sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Return sausages to the skillet. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until sausages are cooked through and flavors have melded.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot, ideally with crusty bread.
