Notes

You can serve Sausage, Peppers and Onions in many ways: on a crusty sandwich roll for a filling sub, over a bed of rice for a heartier meal, with pasta for a comforting dinner, or as a side dish with mashed potatoes for a classic feel. For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of cheese on top before serving. Consider adding other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for more texture and taste.
