Whenever I make a recipe in real life that I haven’t already thought up for the blog I ask myself ” is this something I should share on the blog?”. I was hesitant to share this Italian sausage and peppers recipe because it’s almost too simple….”why would anyone even need a recipe for this?” I literally throw everything onto a pan and add some seasonings and GO!
But then I realize that it’s more about the idea of the recipe than it is the actual recipe itself. This specific recipe uses Italian chicken sausage and Italian spices but in the past I have used pineapple and bacon chicken sausage, or caramelized onion chicken sausage and have added spices to coordinate those flavors…or even kept it minimal by using just salt and pepper. The results have been a delicious, healthy meal that’s so quick and satisfying.
Every. Single. Time!
So, don’t be afraid to play around with the flavor of chicken sausage you and spices you use, you really can’t go wrong.
Trust me, it’s so easy that Paul makes this recipe when I want a break from the kitchen. I enjoy those moments!
Sheet pan Italian sausage and peppers is real life.
It’s what keeps us from ordering carry out on a busy Monday night or heating up another frozen dinner.
It’s what gives us more time to relax.
Italian sausage and peppers is why I created this blog. It’s simple, clean food that anyone can make any day of the week.
I know you’ll love this recipe. Make it once and it will seriously become a weeknight staple. Plus the leftovers heat up nicely!
