Instructions
- Set a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, place the Italian sausages into the skillet.
- Sear the sausages for 2 to 4 minutes per side, until the skin looks slightly blistered or charred. (6-8 minutes per side for raw sausages) Move the Italian sausages and place on a holding plate.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, add in the onions. Sauté the onions for 2 minutes, then stir and the bell peppers and continue to sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes. The onion should be soft, but I prefer if the bell peppers are still slightly firm.
- Salt and pepper the onions and peppers to taste. Then stir the sausages back into the skillet to rewarm. Serve as-is for a low carb main dish, or pile the sausages, onions, and peppers on soft hoagie rolls and top with provolone cheese.
Notes
- For Cooked/Smoked Sausages:Italian Sausages in the oven - 350 degrees F, 25 minutesItalian Sausages on the grill – Medium heat, 5-8 minutes (2-4 mins per side)In a skillet – medium heat, 5-8 minutes (2-4 mins per side)
- For Raw Sausages:Italian Sausages in the oven: 350 degrees F, 25 minutesItalian Sausages on the grill – Medium heat, 12-16 minutes (6-8 mins per side)In a skillet – medium heat, 12-16 minutes (6-8 mins per side)
- Boiled? Yes, you can boil raw or cooked Italian sausages, but why?? This just allows the flavor and juices to escape into the boiling water. I would always suggest cooking them another way. Like with peppers and onions in a skillet.
- Once the sausages have been cooked they will keep well for up to another 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container and storing.
