Sautéed Sausage, Peppers & Onions

Sautéed Sausage, Peppers & Onions is a classic comfort dish featuring juicy, golden-browned sausages cooked with sweet caramelized onions and tender bell peppers. Rich, glossy, and full of flavor—exactly like the photo. Perfect for a quick dinner or served over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Ingredients

• 6 pork or Italian sausages (mild or smoked)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

• 2 bell peppers (red & green), sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ cup chicken broth (or water)

• Salt, to taste

• Black pepper, to taste

• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brown the Sausages

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown on all sides (about 8–10 minutes).
Remove sausages and set aside.

2. Sauté Onions & Peppers

In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Simmer Everything Together

Return sausages to the skillet.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping the pan to release browned bits.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes, until sausages are fully cooked and coated in a glossy sauce.

4. Finish & Serve

Uncover and cook 2–3 minutes more to thicken the sauce slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
