- 2 green peppers
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 cans of tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Put sausages in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and drain, then dry sausages with paper towels. |
| 2 | Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausages and brown well on all sides. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside. |
| 3 | In the same pot, add chopped onions, minced garlic, and sliced green peppers. Saute for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. |
| 4 | Cut the sausages into chunks and return them to the pot with the vegetables. Add dried oregano, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. |
| 5 | Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 6 | If the sauce becomes too dry during cooking, feel free to add another can of tomato sauce to achieve your desired consistency. |
| 7 | Once the sausages are cooked through and the flavors have melded together, serve hot and enjoy! |
Serving Suggestions:

- Make a delicious sandwich by stuffing the sausages and peppers into a crusty Italian roll and topping with grated mozzarella cheese. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can use spicy Italian sausages instead of mild.
