|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by removing the casing from the Italian sausage. Break the sausage into small pieces and sauté them until they are cooked through. |
| 2 | While the sausage is cooking, sauté the green pepper and onion until they are tender and aromatic. |
| 3 | Once the sausage is cooked, add the sautéed peppers and onions to the pan. Then, add in the diced tomatoes and the can of pineapple chunks (juice included) to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors. |
