How To Cook Italian Sausage
To make this Italian sausage and peppers recipe: You’ll want to ensure that the Italian sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Note: We learned that by leaving the skins intact, this keeps the sausages much juicier, post updated to include this information!

What To Make With Italian Sausage And Peppers
This dish is super simple and goes with just about everything. I like to add tomatoes to this recipe to make it a little bit saucy. Most commonly, we purchase rolls at our local Italian market, spread them with Homemade Garlic Butter and toast them in the oven. Fill each roll with sausage and peppers, top with a slice or two of cheese and broil until the cheese starts to melt. To serve this recipe over pasta, slice the sausages once cooked (and don’t skip the tomatoes). Toss with cooked pasta and top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and fresh basil to serve! Italian salad makes a great side dish if you’re hoping to keep things low carb. It’s a healthy and delicious meal!
Leftover Sausage and Peppers
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. To reheat Italian sausages, cut them in half (to allow steam to escape) and microwave or cook on the stove top until heated through. If using the stove top, I’d suggest cooking the sausages first until almost hot and then adding the peppers at the end to keep them from overcooking. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 3 months. They can be reheated as directed above or even chopped and added to pasta sauce or marinara sauce to create an easy meal! © SpendWithPennies.com. Content and photographs are copyright protected.
