🌭 Italian Sausage, Onions & Peppers

🔥 How to Make It
1️⃣ Brown the Sausage
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet.

- Add onions and peppers.
- Cook over medium heat 8–10 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
- Add garlic during the last minute.
3️⃣ Finish Cooking

- Cover and cook on low 10–15 minutes until fully cooked (internal temp 160°F / 71°C).
- Slice sausages before or after cooking — your choice.
🥖 How to Serve It
- On a toasted hoagie roll with melted provolone
- Over pasta with marinara
- With rice

💡 Flavor Boost Tips
- Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine.
