Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links sweet or spicy
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Equipment
- Large skillet
- Cutting board
- Chef’s knife
- Tongs
- Wooden spoon
Instructions
- Prepare the sausage: Slice the sausage links into one-inch thick rounds. If using uncooked sausage, you can parboil them for 5 minutes first to help with faster browning.
- Chop the vegetables: Slice the bell peppers into long thin strips and the onion into thin half-moon slices. Try to keep everything similar in size so they cook evenly.
- Heat the skillet: Pour the olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Let the oil get nice and shimmering hot, which helps create that beautiful brown crust on the sausage.
- Cook the sausage: Add sausage slices in a single layer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned. Turn occasionally using tongs to get color on all sides. Transfer the sausage to a clean plate.
- Sauté onions: In the same pan, if it looks dry, add a teaspoon more oil. Add the onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they soften and become slightly golden.
- Add peppers and garlic: Toss in the bell peppers and minced garlic. Stir and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. The vegetables should be soft but still a bit crisp on the edges — that texture brings such a great contrast.
- Return sausage to the pan: Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet. Toss everything together so the flavors meld. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is hot and sizzling.
- Season and garnish: Taste and season generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top just before serving for a little pop of freshness.

FAQ
Can I use chicken or turkey sausage instead?
Absolutely. Chicken or turkey sausage works beautifully if you’re looking for a leaner option. Just be sure to adjust your cook time based on whether the sausage is pre-cooked or raw.
What should I serve with this sausage skillet?
This dish pairs well with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or a bed of rice. For something lighter, serve it over fresh greens or tucked into lettuce wraps.
How do I store and reheat leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until hot, or microwave for about 2 minutes per portion.
