Steps:
- Prep your ingredients. I like to serve this recipe with egg noodles, but you can serve it with whatever you decide. If doing egg noodles/pasta, I suggest starting to boil the water as you begin cooking the sausages.
- 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 remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onion to the skillet and sauté it 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, so I cook them for a bit longer and ensure the pan stays HOT.
- When everything is looking to be about done, stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute or so.
- Add the sausages back and give it a good stir. Serve over drained egg noodles or whatever you're serving it with. Season with salt & pepper as needed.

Steps:
- Heat a large braiser or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausages and brown on all sides until browned but not cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and let cool until cool enough to handle, then slice them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the vegetables over low heat until they're very soft, beginning to caramelize and have some spots of browning, about 40 minutes. If the vegetables start to look like they're getting too browned too quickly, add a splash of water to deglaze.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and the sausages to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking until the sausages are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.

SUPER-EASY SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
A simple and delicious way to serve sausage and peppers with a tomato-based sauce. This is one of my husband's and kids' favorite meals. They like it served over rice because it makes a lot of 'gravy' that soaks into the rice. It 's one of my favorites because it's quick, easy, and has only a few ingredients that I usually have on hand.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor and texture, use a high-quality pork sausage that is at least 80% lean.
- Brown the sausage properly: Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is evenly browned on all sides. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the sausage from drying out.
- Use a variety of seasonings: In addition to salt and pepper, feel free to experiment with other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage, make sure to give it plenty of space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the sausage will steam instead of brown.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Salt and pepper sausage is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Salt and pepper sausage is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this dish is sure to be a hit.
