With the chilly, rainy weather outside, Ryan and I decided to make a hot, aromatic dinner of Italian sausage with peppers and onions.
Sausage, Peppers and Onions
Our friends Pete and Merri made this dish at their Super Bowl party this year and Ryan and I loved it.
Thankfully Pete shared his recipe with me today and I was pleased to see that it was super easy. You know I love simple recipes!
All you have to do is cut Italian sausages with scissors (do not use a knife or the meat will come out of the casings) and put the meat into a 2-inch baking dish (sprayed with cooking spray) with sliced onions and peppers. You can then top it all with olive oil, salt and pepper or omit all the spices since the Italian sausage is very flavorful on its own. Easy, right?
We let the sausage and peppers bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, stirring the mixture every once in a while.
Yummy
Our apartment smelled like heaven!
I enjoyed my sausage and veggie mix on a big piece of Joseph’s lavash bread.
Dinner
For dessert I enjoyed a chocolate mint Attune bar. I received a package of these in the mail from the company today and was excited to try the bars.

It was so stinkin’ delicious! I gave Ryan a bite too and he agreed.
I’ll do a full review on the bars once I try the various flavors. 🙂
Off to keep warm by cuddlin’ on the couch watching Friends on DVD with Ryan. Good night!

YUM…that dinner looks fantastic Julie! I love that your recipes are simple yet they are always impressive and tasty! This is going on my “to-make” list ASAP! Have a fun night tonight and here’s hoping you don’t have rain tomorrow! 🙂
That meal looks awesome and I totally agree with what Kelly said – your meals are easy, but very impressive!! I know Andrew would LOVE this!! Thanks for the idea! 😉
Anything with cooked sausage smells and tastes amazing!
Looks delish… and I’m making it tonight. Subbed spicy turkey sausage and putting it on a little brown rice with a side of steamed broc. can’t wait!!!
julie- just saw your site when a bunch of the KD girls “liked” your page. I’m now addicted! hope all is well with you… looks like life is going really well. keep up all the great advice! 🙂
We have been eating this on a weekly basis lately! So yummy. Thanks for a wonderfully easy meal! 🙂
Quick question, do you buy the uncooked sausage and just put it all in the oven? or the precooked sausage?
🙂
Total throwback post…I don’t even know how I came across this one! When I make this, I just cook/saute everything in a skillet on the stove top. It cuts down on a lot of time. I also add a few handfuls of spinach (it cooks down to like nothing!) and tomato. If the sausage is thawed, I can literally start this meal from the beginning with chopping the vegetables and have it done and plated in about 25 minutes. So easy and so healthy! 🙂
Made this sausage dish! Sooooo good! I put it in a flax flatbread wrap. Thanks for posting this recipe.
