Zesty Sausage, Peppers and Onions

By Christie Vanover | Published August 27, 2011 | Last Updated December 28, 2022

Throughout my adult life, Sausage, Peppers and Onions over rice has been a staple weeknight dinner. But as I’ve gone zesty, I’ve revised the dish from just simple bell peppers. Now I use poblano, Anaheim and jalapeno peppers.

Farmer’s markets and produce sections are filled with a variety of colorful peppers, and they all have varying levels of heat. Be creative with this recipe. Grab a mix of peppers, chop them up and throw them in the pan. Sometimes I go spicier than other days.

The pepper combination in the recipe below has a little heat for flavor, but it’s not overwhelming. I always serve this dish over a combination of short grain brown and white rice. Bon appétit!

Ingredients

 

• 1 package smoked sausage
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 poblano pepper
• 1 Anaheim pepper
• 2 jalapeno peppers
• ½ large onion
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning

Instructions

• Slice the sausage into medallions and place in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Depending on the fat content of the sausage (like if using turkey sausage), you may need to add olive oil, so the sausage doesn’t stick.
  
• Once the sausage begins to brown, add the chopped peppers and onions. Sauté until tender. Add the salt and Tony’s. Serve over rice.
