1. Rice and Sausage Peppers

Assemble these ahead of time and chill, then bake them when it’s time to eat!

Ingredients

• A mixture of 6 huge bell peppers in colors including red, orange, and yellow.
• There should be 3 tablespoons of olive oil in there.
• A pound of uncooked, delicious Italian sausage.
• For this recipe, you’ll need 4 plum tomatoes, chopped.
• 2 red onions, diced.
• Three minced garlic cloves.
• 1 tsp. dry Italian seasoning.
• Use freshly ground black pepper and Kosher salt to taste.
• 2 cups of brown rice, cooked (thawed if frozen).
• Shredded mozzarella cheese, two cups’ worth.

Directions

1. Cut the tops off the peppers. Take off the stems, throw them away, and then finely slice the tops. Remove the membranes and the seeds as best you can. Put the peppers in a microwave-safe bowl, add the water, and cover with plastic wrap. Cover and microwave for 12 minutes, or until the food is just starting to soften.
2. Preheat the oven to 450˚. In a big pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Adding the sausage and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, heat for approximately 6 minutes, or until the sausage is done. Take out to a serving dish.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. For 10 to 12 minutes, while stirring occasionally, add the tomatoes, red onions, garlic, Italian spice, and chopped pepper tops.
4. Add the sausage and rice and season with salt and pepper, then combine well. It’s time to put your taste buds to work.
5. In a baking dish that is just big enough to contain the peppers, stand them upright. Fill with the rice mixture and bake for 10 minutes. Add the cheese and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is browned in areas.

2. Peppers and Sausage

The sheet pan diet has me interested. Sheet pan suppers like this Italian Sausage and Peppers in the oven are you’re new go-to for weekday meals since they can be adapted to suit every palate and lifestyle and need just a single pan to clean up afterward.

This dish is rich with Italian appeal, ultra-filling, and excellent either on its alone or as a quick add-on to pasta, sandwiches, and more.

• During the warmer months, we top our sausage and peppers with sauce and cheese to make a meal that is perfect for picnics or picnic baskets.
• A favorite wintertime dinner is sausage and peppers cooked with potatoes. (Here’s another crowd-pleasing dish: sausage, cabbage, and potatoes cooked in a slow cooker.)

Baked Sausage with Peppers: A Simple Recipe

Like this Crockpot Italian Chicken, this easy Italian dish has just only one pan to prepare, capturing the carefree spirit of a summer evening in a satisfying meal.

Pan-roasted with bell pepper pieces, onion slices, and Italian seasonings, this dish boasts luscious chunks of Italian sausage.

Those Necessary Elements

• Pepperoni is a kind of Italian sausage. Using lean, protein-rich precooked Italian sausage links (I use Italian chicken or turkey sausage) speeds up supper preparation.
• Peppers and onions go well together. Sweet Italian sausage goes well with spicy bell peppers and onion (and on these Italian Turkey Burgers). Once roasted, they soften, become sweet, and are delicious. Moreover, they are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber. Onions of any color will do, from white to yellow to red.
• Vinegar from red wine. Add a hint of sourness and zest.
• Spices. Salt, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes give this meal the authentic Italian flavor it needs.

The Instructions

• Prepare a baking sheet by arranging the sausage, peppers, and onions on it.
• Toss with olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
• The sausage and peppers should be baked at 400 degrees F. Sausage and peppers will need to be baked for 25 to 35 minutes. Toss with some chopped fresh basil and dig in!

Guidelines for Putting Things Away

• Put Away. You may keep leftovers in the fridge for up to four days if you use an airtight container.
• To reheat anything. Gently reheat in the microwave or a nonstick skillet over low heat.
• As the name implies, to freeze is to stop all movement. You may keep leftovers frozen for up to three months if you store them in an airtight container. Cool overnight in the fridge to defrost, then reheat as desired.

Instructions for Preparing and Serving Sausage and Peppers

• Intact Grains. Brown rice, farro, or quinoa would taste delicious after being cooked. Cauliflower rice is a great alternative if you’re watching your carb intake.
• Being a Sub. Toast the hoagie sandwich and stuff it with the sausage and peppers. Top with provolone cheese (bonus points for warming it in the oven to melt the cheese).
• As a side dish to pasta. Serve over whole wheat pasta like penne and top with your preferred marinara sauce for a delicious sausage and peppers pasta meal.
• Breakfast and Lunch together Throw the leftovers in a skillet with some spinach and cook an egg to put on top. When paired with roasted potatoes, this dish becomes even more delicious.

Equipment Suggested for Preparation of this Dish

• Iron Sheets for Baking. Ideal for preparing this dish of baked sausage and peppers.
• Scroll Paper. Use it on your baking sheet and your ingredients won’t cling!
• Spatula. You can toss and flip this one with ease.

• Then, roll the meat into four balls and gently press each into a 5-inch wide patty 1 ¼ inch thick. Make a small divot in the center of each burger with your knuckle.
• Grill the patties for 5-6 minutes before flipping them over and grilling them for another 4-8 minutes. Remove the grill and add a slice of Provolone cheese on top of each burger.
• Last but not least, place the burgers on the toasted Kaiser buns and top them with roasted peppers, pepper rings, and basil leaves.

Changes to the Recipe

If you’re in need of a morning pick-me-up, this breakfast casserole will do the trick.

INGREDIENTS

• Grease-repellent spray
• One-half pound of Italian sausages in bulk (no casings)
• Diced red onion, one small
• 1 cup of chopped big Idaho or russet potatoes
• Quite a few big eggs, two
• There should be 3 tablespoons of whole milk.

DIRECTIONS

5. Gnocchi, Italian Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Onions, and Peppers, Baked in a Sheet Pan

These small dumplings have a texture that’s equal parts pillowy soft and silky smooth, and they’re delicious because of it.

They’re delicious without anything more than butter and basil.

However, by adding Italian sausage, bell peppers, vegetables, and cheese, they become a delicious and festive main course.

Pan-Fried Gnocchi with Italian Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Onions and Peppers

In 2021, one of the simplest and most convenient meals will emerge from your kitchen.

Enjoy a delicious meal with this recipe for Sheet Pan Italian Sauage Gnocchi with Broccoli Rabe, Onions, and Peppers. Sheet pan dinners are hard to surpass, in my opinion. Sorry, but I don’t buy it.

And if you throw some gnocchi into the mix, I’m in. Definitely one of my top picks!

I love gnocchi with the traditional cream sauce, but this version with the added vegetables and crumbled Italian sausage tossed in olive oil is just as good, if not better. And when I do eat it, I don’t feel quite as terrible about it.

To that end, one of my resolutions for the new year was to expand BHK’s selection of sheet pan dinners. Several of you expressed an interest, so I knew I had to pass this along right now.

I was going to season this dish with yellow peppers, onions, and sliced tomatoes until my college dorm buddy suggested substituting broccoli rabe. A big debt of gratitude to you, Lore. You need to eat more dark, leafy greens.

INGREDIENTS

• Potato Gnocchi
• Sausage, Italian
• Toppings: yellow peppers
• • onion
• broccoli rabe
• • Roasted tomatoes, diced
• • alliums (garlic, leek, etc.
• We recommend: • Olive oil
• • grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Italian sausage and gnocchi give it a meaty feel. While I used mild sausage, spicy Italian, or perhaps a combination of the two would work just as well.

Sheet pan meals with gnocchi are easy to make, and the gnocchi may be cooked directly on the sheet pan. There should be no pre-boiling. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?

You may use a big sheet pan, some olive oil, some chopped vegetables, and some uncooked crumbled sausage. Just 20 minutes in the oven and then a quick broil to crisp it all up on the sheet pan will do the trick. Grated Parmesan cheese is my preferred topping for mine.

I know. To whom much gratitude is due! This sheet pan dinner is stupidly simple and unbelievably wonderful. Enjoy!

My berry buttermilk sheet pan pancakes and my sweet and spicy salmon sheet pan dinner are two more popular one-pan dinners here at the BHK.
