Cast Iron Sausage, Peppers, and Onions

 


Sausage, peppers, and onions make the kind of supper that fills the kitchen with a good smell long before anyone asks when dinner will be ready.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium sweet onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.
  • Add the butter, peppers, and onion.
  • Sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook for another 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still have a little bite.
  • Serve straight from the skillet with warm biscuits, cornbread, or crusty bread. It also works nicely spooned over rice.
