Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1lb Italian Sausage sweet or spicy
  • 1/2 yellow onion large, sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp sazon
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon or 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp red pepper chili flakes
  • 3/4 c water leave out water if using broth

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a medium sized pan over medium high heat. Pierce a hole in each sausage and brown the sausage in the pan. This should take no more than 5 minutes, you're just browning it on each side.
  • Remove the sausage from the pan. In the same pan add the peppers, garlic and onions. Cook while stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. While it's cooking, cut the sausages into one inch round pieces.
  • Add the sausage back into the pan. Season with the sazon, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and bouillon. Stir it up and add the water. If using chicken broth instead of bouillon, add that in now. Bring to a boil, cover and turn on medium low. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, the sausage and peppers will be done. Serve on top of rice, or on a roll, eat and enjoy!

Notes

If you would like this with pasta, replace the broth/ bouillon with 1 cup of pasta sauce instead.
