Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Sausage and peppers with onions. This is one of those classic Italian-American street food, lunch cart dishes.
Such a satisfying combo! Italian sausages cooked with bell peppers, sweet onions, meaty mushrooms, and garlic.
This dish is typically made with a several different colors of bell peppers—usually one green, one red, and one either yellow, orange, or purple.
That said, use whatever color bell peppers you like! If you don’t like a color, skip it and just use more of another color. You could even use red & green to mimic the Italian flag colors.
Using a mix of Sweet and Hot Italian sausage would make it extra special. I love doing this combo because the mix of sweet and hot is just the right amount of flavor that doesn’t over power.
This hearty dish can be enjoyed on its own but you could also enjoy it with a salad. A simple green salad without an overpowering dressing. Coleslaw also pairs very well.
If you are making this as a family dish and enjoying it with people who also eat carbs, you could serve it along side bread like breadsticks dinner rolls pita bread garlic bread hot dog buns, use it as a filling in sandwiches you could put it in wraps or tortillas.
