I really like Italian food. I like it the first time I serve it, but what makes it awesome is that the leftovers are usually wonderful too! This recipe is no exception. It takes five minutes to put together, then an hour to bake. Lovely!
If you were making sausage and peppers sandwiches, I wouldn’t cut the sausages very small. Serving it over pasta? Make ‘em smaller. Feeding a crowd? This dish easily multiplies. And if you wanted to minimize the meat, just add more veggies. For me, I do at least three bell peppers and I’d even be content with going down to ½ pound of sausage and I’d still think of it as very filling.
