Sausage & Peppers

Sausage and peppers....or sausage and peepers - as Joe and Luke call it. This has become one of my all time favorite meals. This recipe is excellent - it's fairly easy and quick. The blend of spicy and sweet make it unique and the aroma is really enticing.

Recipe:
1 lb. Italian sausage links (Johnsonville Italian Sausage is gluten-free)
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1 red pepper, cut in thin strips
1 yellow pepper, cut in thin strips
1 orange pepper, cut in thin strips
1/2 white onion, cut in thin strips
1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes


Slice sausage, brown in olive oil. Add pressed garlic and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir until sugar melts. Add peppers and onions and salt and pepper. Saute until veggies are limp. Add tomatoes and remaining sugar and red pepper flakes. Cook for 10 more minutes. Serve over GF rigatoni with Parmesan cheese.
