Ingredients

  • 1 pound smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 3 medium bell peppers (whatever colors you prefer) sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the sausage pieces until they're browned/crispy on all sides (about 8-10 minutes), then transfer to a plate.
  2. Add the onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes (add more oil to the pan if it seems too dry), and then add in the peppers and continue cooking until they're tender-crisp. I like to get a little char on mine!
  3. When everything is looking to be about done, stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute or so.
  4. Add the sausages back and give it a good stir. Season with salt & pepper as needed.

Notes

  • I used a Ukrainian smoked sausage coil for this recipe. Any smoked sausage will work. Try kielbasa or andouille sausage. I buy the kind that's already fully cooked. If you use a sausage that's raw (like Italian sausage links), you will have to cook it for longer and probably drain some of the fat depending on what kind of sausage you buy.
  • This recipe is great served with anything from egg noodles/pasta to rice, mashed potatoes, or even in a bun or hoagie roll.
