Sausage and Peppers

This baby brings me back! To the days when I would come home from school or my part time job and my mom would have dinner waiting on the table. Boy were those the days! Now I have to cook for myself AND do the dishes, womp womp. I actually took this recipe from my mom, and put my own twist on it. Traditionally, I would have it with a tomato sauce. This time I wanted a lighter feel, so I went with the garlic and olive oil. You can use red onions, or yellow/red/green peppers as well. I chose Italian chicken sausage, but you can also go for a pork or turkey depending on preference. This is great over rice or pasta, or even just alone! It's super simple, very few ingredients and so delicious. 

Ingredients: 
1 package of mild Italian chicken sausage 
1 orange pepper
1 white onion
2 garlic cloves
Olive oil 

Directions:
Begin by browning your sausage in a pan with olive oil. Slice up your onions and peppers and begin to cook with garlic, olive oil, and black pepper in a separate pan. When sausage is browned enough, take off of pan and slice. Once sliced, add to pan with onions and peppers allowing to finish the cooking process and adding all the flavors together. Serve over rice or pasta, or enjoy on its own!
