These Italian Sausage and Peppers are a hearty Italian dinner that's restaurant quality all made in one-pan. With onions and peppers and spicy sausage, this recipe is bursting with flavor.
In a large skillet, over medium heat add the olive oil and brown the the sausages well but not cooking completely through. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into two-inch slices on a cutting board.
In the same pan, melt the butter and add more olive oil if needed. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes until slightly soft but not completely done. Add the garlic, oregano, basil, salt, chicken broth or cooking wine, and diced tomatoes. Return the sausage back to the pan and cook until sausage is done, covering for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately plain or on hoagie rolls.
Notes
The key is to time it up so you don't overcook the onions and peppers so that they still have some texture and aren't completely soft.If you use mild sweet sausage you may want to add some red pepper to control the spice.
