Quick and Easy Sausage & Peppers

Recipe courtesy of melbride2005

serves 4

Approx. 1-1.5 lb. sausage (I usually use hot turkey sausage, but any kind will do)...cut into bite size pieces

3 bell peppers, sliced lengthwise

1 onion, chopped

Half of a large can of crushed tomatoes (or the whole can if you want more of a 'saucy' recipe)

Dried oregano, garlic powder, basil

EVOO and chopped garlic

Heat your pan and add EVOO and chopped garlic.  When garlic browns slightly, add the sausage.  Cook until slightly browned, then add peppers and onions, followed by spices. 

Once everything has cooked down, add the tomatoes.  Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve with bread if you want sandwiches, with pasta or by itself.
