How To Cook Sausage and Peppers

Sausage and peppers is a delicious dish, that you can serve with pasta, or other side dishes. You can also make a delicious hot sandwich with it, by putting sausage and peppers on bread. Whichever way you decide to serve it, this dish will be delicious!

The original sausage and peppers recipe calls for sausage to be stir fries with onions and red and green peppers. These regular sausage and peppers recipes usually call for raw red peppers and onions, stir fried with the sausage.

I decided to change this recipe up a bit. Instead of using raw red peppers, I use roasted red peppers in this recipe. I love roasted red peppers, they sweet and very flavorful. They add another dimension to this simple dish.
