The Best Sausage and Peppers - it is a keeper

This Sausage & Peppers recipe is by the far the best I’ve ever had!

The Best Sausage and Peppers - it is a keeper

I absolutely love Sausage and Peppers.  When I was a little girl, my family used to have a stand at our local La Festa Italiana.  

I can remember spending my entire Labor Day weekend there watching my grandparents, uncles and aunts making hundreds of pounds of sausage and frying up big batches of peppers and onions.

Peppers and onions cooking is one of my all-time favorite smells. 

It was one of my favorite things to eat — even as a little kid.

Sadly, my grandparents passed away when I was young and I was never able to get their recipe.

However, my sister’s father-in-law makes a killer Sausage and Peppers.  I will dare to even call it the BEST Sausage and Peppers recipe.

It’s very easy to make and is overflowing with incredible flavor.  

You can serve it on hard rolls or over linguine like in this recipe or with risotto as in this recipe.  Or you can just eat it plain.  It’s incredible no matter how you serve it.  

This recipe freezes really well so I always double or triple the recipe and stash some in the freezer for a quick dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 ring of hot Italian sausage
  • 1 ring of sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 bell peppers sliced (I use assorted colors)
  • 2 large onions sliced

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Cut sausage into 2 inch chunks.

  • Saute until cooked through and slightly charred.
  • During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add garlic.
  • Transfer sausage, peppers, onions and garlic to a stock pot.

  • Stir in parmesan cheese and simmer for 10 minutes more.
