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.

SPICY CATFISH WITH BELL PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Yield Serves 2; can be doubled
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Season fish with salt and pepper. Dust lightly with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish to skillet. Cook until golden brown and just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil, onion and bell peppers to same skillet. Sauté until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeño. Stir 1 minute. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Spoon over fish.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For a milder flavor, use sweet peppers such as bell peppers or banana peppers. For a spicier flavor, use hotter peppers such as jalapeños or habaneros. You can also mix different types of peppers to create a custom heat level.
- Roast the peppers and onions: Roasting the peppers and onions brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill. If you're roasting them in the oven, toss them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper before roasting. If you're grilling them, brush them with olive oil and grill them until they're slightly charred.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh peppers and onions will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or grocery store. Avoid using pre-packaged or frozen peppers and onions, as they will not have the same flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the peppers and onions, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. Instead, cook them in batches if necessary.
- Season to taste: Once the peppers and onions are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a little extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Spicy pepper and onion recipes are a delicious and versatile way to add flavor to your meals. They can be used as a side dish, a condiment, or even a main course.
