Sausage and Peppers is a classic American-Italian dish consisting of Italian sausage cooked with peppers and onions. It is said to have gained popularity at Italian street festivals in the 1920s for the Feast of San Gennaro.
While there is no original precedent for the exact ingredients in this dish, it has since been altered by all who make it. Nowadays, you will see the sausage and peppers cooked in a red sauce or in a brown sauce, which is what I did. Ingredients such as garlic or mushrooms can be added to the dish as well. It is a fantastic recipe if you are looking for something quick and delicious to serve or need to feed a lot of people at one time.
