Report
Italian Sausage and Peppers is a simple enough for quick weeknight dinners but delicious enough for epic parties, too! Juicy Italian sausages in a homemade tomato sauce with plenty of sliced peppers and onions is hearty, delicious, and easy.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 Italian sausage links (2 packages, see note 1)
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (see note 2)
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes optional
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 10 rolls split, for serving (see note 3)
- shredded Mozzarella cheese for serving, optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and heat until shimmering. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides (sausages will not be fully cooked), about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. To the skillet, add onions and peppers. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add back sausages and stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook until sausage is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve on rolls with shredded cheese if desired.
Notes
- Sausage: Look for mild or sweet Italian sausage usually sold 5 links per package.
- Tomatoes: For a chunkier sauce, substitute diced tomatoes, drained.
- Rolls: Look for a soft roll such as Hoagie or French rolls. Standard hotdog buns can work in a pinch, but their thinner size will get soggy fast.
- Yield: This recipe makes 10 sausages, enough for 10 sandwiches with peppers, onions, and tomato sauce.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
