Sausage Peppers And Onions (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound Italian sausage links
02 - 3 medium bell peppers, sliced (different colors)
03 - 1 large onion, sliced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
07 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
08 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ For Serving

09 - 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and slice them if you prefer them in bite-sized pieces, or keep them whole.
02 - In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, peppers, and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
03 - Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
04 - Place the sausages back into the skillet with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
05 - If you like your hoagie roll crispy, toast it lightly in the oven or on a separate skillet. Open up a hoagie roll and lay down a base of your chosen sauce if using, then pack in a generous portion of the sausage, peppers, and onions.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a lighter version, swap out traditional pork Italian sausages with chicken or turkey sausages.
02 - If you prefer a milder dish, choose sweet Italian sausages, or go with spicy ones to add extra heat.
03 - This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great option for make-ahead meals.
04 - Serve with crusty bread or over cooked pasta to soak up the flavorful juices from the skillet.
