Italian Sausage with Onions and Peppers
A delicious 15 minute low-carb meal
Ingredients
- 1 to 1&1/2 pounds Italian sausage links or bulk sausage hot or sweet
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 peppers green or red, hot or sweet
- 1 large onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup no-sugar-added spaghetti sauce (or use homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
Instructions
- Slice the Italian sausage diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces and saute in the olive oil over medium-high heat (if using bulk sausage, just plunk it in the pan with the olive oil and break it up).
- Meanwhile, slice the peppers into medium size strips and slice the onion about 1/4 inch thick.
- When the sausage is about half done (takes about 5-7 minutes) stir in the peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook until the sausage is well done and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 additional minutes.
- Stir in the spaghetti sauce and top with mozzarella cheese if desired.
