Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best results. Look for sweet, ripe bell peppers, juicy tomatoes, and flavorful Greek sausage.
Use a variety of bell peppers: Don't limit yourself to just one color of bell pepper. Use a mix of green, red, and yellow peppers to add visual appeal and a range of flavors.
Slice the peppers and sausage evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the peppers and sausage in batches will ensure that they cook evenly and don't steam.
Sauté the peppers and sausage until they are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes. Be patient and don't rush the process.
Add the tomatoes and seasonings: Once the peppers and sausage are tender, add the tomatoes, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened.
Serve immediately: Greek sausage and peppers is best served hot, over rice, pasta, or with a side of crusty bread.
