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.

See recipe card for Keto Sausage and Peppers quantities.
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium high. Grill the sausages until brown for about 6-8 minutes. Place the browned sausages on a plate.
You will need an aluminum baking pan for this part. Slice the onion and the bell peppers and place in the pan.
Add the can of diced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cut the grilled sausage into pieces and place back into the aluminum pan.
Give it a nice stir before placing back into the grill. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place in the grill.
The grill should be set to medium, cover and cook for an hour. Alternatively, you can preheat the oven to 400 F and bake for 45 minutes.
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.

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.
