I love this recipe because it is so simple and easy to make and feeds a hungry family of five. I encourage you all to try this - this recipe is an Italian mom's best friend. This recipe is made on the grill but you can alternatively make it in the oven.

Substitutions

  • Sausage: I love using Premio sausage, but any sausage works. 
  • Bell peppers: I love to mix and match between red and green bell peppers, but you can get creative. 
  • Onions: I like to use yellow onions, but white or red onions work just as well. 
  • Tomatoes: I love using diced tomatoes from the can. 

Variations

Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish.
  • Deluxe - serve on a tortilla or with bread.
  • Kid friendly - serve sausage in a hot dog bun and top with peppers.

Equipment

Aluminum pan: I love using an aluminum pan and placing it in the grill. I start by browning the sausage onto the griddle to get the marks on them, and then placing them into the pan with the rest of the veggies. 

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

I love using my Caraway pots, pans and baking sheets for best quality. Get yourself a discount by clicking here!

Storage

This will be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.

Top tip

Browning the sausage first will give it a nicer crispy texture, but this is completely up to you.
