Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: American
Author: Catherine's Plates

Equipment

  • one large deep skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 TBS cooking oil
  • 1 (5pk) Italian uncooked sausages
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 4 bell peppers cut into strips (use many colors, if you can)
  • 2 medium onions, cut into strips
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced fine
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1 TBS Italian seasoning
  • 1 (24oz) jar pasta sauce
  • 1/4 jar full of water

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat start heating up cooking oil until hot.
  • Place Italian sausages into hot oil and brown on one side for 2-3 minutes. Turn over and brown an additional 2-3 minutes. Using tongs hold down the sides of sausages. Remove sausages to a plate and set a side. (We are not cooking the sausages all the way through at this time, just browning.)
  • In the same large skillet over medium high heat add butter and allow to melt and sizzle. Add in pepper strips and onion strips. Season with salt & black pepper. Cook until softened for 4-5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook an additional 1 minutes.
  • Stir in Italian seasoning, jar pasta sauce and 1/4 jar of water. Mix well and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once sauce comes to a boil, add the browned sausages back into skillet and submerge into sauce. Place lid on skillet and cook for 20 minutes over low heat until sausages are cooked through and tender.
  • Serve in hoagie buns, over pasta, mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy.
