Colorful Smoked Sausage and Peppers

Colorful Smoked Sausage and Peppers

For quick and easy meals nothing cooks up faster and easier than smoked sausage. Smoked sausage and peppers taste amazing together and are perfect with rice or potatoes. I’m all about quick and easy these days so this dinner is served at least once every 2 weeks. It’s a good thing my family really loves this meal.

I forget to defrost meat for dinner often. I either need to wait for something to be defrosted. Defrost it in the microwave, which I’m not fond of. Sometimes it means just changing my meal plan for the evening.

Tired of searching endlessly for the right recipe for dinner? Check out my easy to use Meal Planner Binder and stop searching. It can easily be paired with my Recipe Binder and for a LIMITED TIME you can get $5 off when you purchase both the Meal Planner and the Recipe Binder together with this link or the code MealPlanCombo.

I never feel weird about defrosting smoked sausage in the microwave because, most of the time, the sausage is already cooked through and just needs to be heated thoroughly. That’s exactly what I do with this meal.

Cooking the sausage and peppers together with a bit of olive oil lets all the flavors join together. Pairing it with rice or potatoes is such a great filling option.

The easiest way to cut peppers is to cut the top off, pull out the insides, cut in half and rinse. You can cut around the stem to get every last bit of usable pepper. Slice the pepper into long strips.

The key to getting the most out of your peppers is to cook them until hot but not floppy. Cooked peppers should have a soft crunch. The longer you cook them the less nutrients you get out of them.

I slice the smoked sausage after defrosting and just toss it together with the peppers in the pan. Covering your pan allows for the heat to cook everything through and hold the heat to cook faster. The sausage and peppers can leave quite a bit of moisture in the pan so feel free to drain it half way through cooking.

This meal takes 10-15 minutes to cook depending on which side dish you are making to go with it.

Ingredients

  • 1 Smoked Sausage Link
  • 1 Green Pepper
  • 1 Yellow Pepper
  • 1 Red Pepper
