This Skillet Sausage and Peppers is so delicious and one of the easiest and quickest weeknight meals.
This easy Skillet Sausage and Peppers recipe is a skillet version ot the Italian classic and one of those recipes that is so easy to throw together and has so much flavor. It is perfect for a busy weeknight or even for meal prep. You can serve in so many different ways and it is a great dish the whole family will love. You can use any type of sausage and although I used a yellow bell pepper and a red bell pepper, any color bell peppers will work. No fresh garlic on hand? No problem, just go ahead and use a tsp of garlic powder if needed. This is such a delicious and healthy meal that the entire family will request it on a regular basis. I will make a batch on Sunday nights have it with cauliflower mash, on top of spaghetti squash, on white rice, on baked sweet potatoes, or if you have no sensitivites on a hoagie roll. This one-pan meal is a great and easy recipe perfect for busy days.
