Semi-homemade Italian Sausages & Peppers

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb italian sausage (will probably be 4 nice sized links)
• 2 cups cheese-flavored spaghetti sauce
• 1 small yellow bell pepper, cored and cut into strips
• 1 small green bell pepper, cored and cut into strips
• 1/2 cup sweet onion, cut into strips like the pepper (optional)
• 1 (15 ounce) can italian-style diced tomatoes (drained)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in a large skillet, mix together spaghetti sauce, peppers, onions (if you are using them) and drained tomatoes.
• 2 set your sausage links in the sauce.
• 3 cover and simmer on med-low for 45 minutes.
• 4 if sauce is thick enough for you, move on to the next step. otherwise, if you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the sausages and thicken your marinara sauce by adding 1 tsp of cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water to your sauce, turn up to med-high heat and bring to a boil, return it to a simmer for 5 more minutes and it should be plenty thick.
• 5 to serve, place one sausage on your plate, cover with 1/2 cup of sauce and sprinkle with the cheeses to your liking (cheese will melt immediately). note that you can serve these in buns/rolls if you like!
• 6 enjoy!
