This Sausage, Peppers, and Onions recipe is a great recipe for a quick/easy dinner or a dish to take down-de-islands. You can plate by itself or put on a hoagie roll as a sandwich. This is also a dish that can be scaled up or down very easily depending on how many people you have. I usually estimate one onion/green pepper/potato for every 1 sausage link.
Step 1
You will need Green Peppers, Onions, Potatoes, Potatoes, Garlic, Olive Oil, Seasonings and of course, sausages from Blooms. Italian sausage is generally used, but you could substitute for Chorizo or Salchicha if you like.
The Sausages!

Step 2
Cut up your potatoes into medium sized chunks. Too small and they will over cook. Too large and they will not cook enough. Chop your garlic or garlic press a few cloves of garlic into the pan to taste. Sprinkle seasonings, coat with olive oil and mix the entire batch around to fully coat the sides. These go into the oven (at 350 for around: 30 minutes). You are not fully cooking the potatoes here, just getting them started. They take longer than the other elements.
Step 3
Using a frying pan, brown your sausage links. Again, the goal is not to cook fully, just to brown enough to be able to cut the sausages without falling apart. When they are browned on both sides set them on a plate to cool before cutting. Cut the sausages into half-inch pieces. If you are serving on bread as a sandwich, the pieces should be smaller. If you are putting on a plate, they can be a little larger.
Step 4
Cut your onions and peppers into quarter inch wide strips and sprinkle with salt/pepper (any other seasoning you like). Do not chop these. Smaller pieces tend to cook too much and become soggy. You want to avoid the veggies in this dish becoming too soggy/overcooked. Brown these in a frying pan until they have softened a little.
Step 5
Now that you have the vegetables and sausages cut up and cooked, it’s time to add them to the potatoes. Mix the batch around and place back in the oven. You can bump the temperature up to 400 to give the top a little crispiness. Cook until you can tell that the potatoes are soft. Again, don’t overcook the potatoes or they will fall apart.
And…you’re finished!
Serve on a hoagie roll with spicy brown mustard or on a plate all by itself. Add a few eggs to the side and it’s a great breakfast dish. Pepper sauce is a must. Enjoy!
