Sometimes you just need something quick, hearty, and delicious.  For those times, the Italian Sausage Skillet is just the ticket.  It’s a no-nonsense, super-quick, really popular recipe that reheats particularly well.

Freezer Meal/Double Batch Option

This recipe also freezes well, so if you’re up for a little prep fun, buy enough for a double batch.
Chop veggies and sausage for both then add half to a gallon-sized freezer bag with the Italian seasoning (so, everything except the olive oil goes in the bag).
Squeeze out all the air and lay flat in your freezer.
Label w/ the directions “Thaw, sauté with 2 tbsp olive oil, top with parmesan.”
Then you’ll prepare the other half as stated on the recipe.

You’ll have a quick dinner for now and a quicker one for later.
**High five, you meal prep boss!**

• 2 tsp Italian seasoning

Topping

• shredded parmesan (totally optional)

Instructions

1. Add onion, peppers, garlic, seasoning, and olive oil to a skillet over medium heat.
2. When onions begin to become translucent (about 5 mins), add sliced sausages and tomatoes.
3. Continue to cook until peppers are tender (about 5 more mins).
4. If desired, sprinkle w/ parm before serving.
5. Why do we call it serving? I'm not serving anyone. *before EATING 😉

Notes

Modifications

Vegetarian: It just ends up as Italian veggies, but they're delish, so skip the sausage and make it happen.

Gluten Free:  Be sure to pick up GF sausage (most should be) and you're golden, babe.
