ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH POTATOES, ONIONS, AND PEPPERS
I got this recipe from my mother inlaw, it is cheap and easy to put together. I love to throw this together on a cold, snowy Sunday morning - then I can just throw it in the oven later and go about my business while dinner cooks. Add a salad or crusty itallian bread for a side and you are all set. I sometimes use turkey sausage for a lower fat dish.

SPICY SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS (CROCK POT)
Spicy sausage, pepper and onions. Takes very little prep time and is great for potlucks. Inexpensive and makes alot. Very delicious kids and adults both liked it is very filling. I first took it to a church game night that was just supposed to be snack food but knew I would want something a little more filling than chips had several requests for the recipe. Which made me have to think because when I first made it I used what I had in the house. This is what I remember using. I used Bar-S brand polish sausage which is just a cheap sausage a pack of 3 lbs is about $4 ( found in with the hot dogs in the refrigerated section lunch meats and stuff). Could be used as an entree ( just serve it on a whole bun) snack or starter for a party I think.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of sausage, such as chorizo, kielbasa, or bratwurst.
- Use a variety of peppers: Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, each with its own unique flavor. For a more colorful and flavorful dish, use a mix of green, red, and yellow peppers.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and peppers, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sausage from browning properly and the peppers from getting crispy.
- Cook the sausage first: The sausage takes longer to cook than the peppers, so it's best to cook it first. Once the sausage is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
- Add the peppers: Once the sausage is cooked, add the peppers to the pan. Cook the peppers until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sausage back to the pan: Once the peppers are cooked, add the sausage back to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Season to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Sausage, peppers, and onions is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
