"This is a quick and versatile recipe that is one of DH's favorites. I like it because it makes enough for two dinners and a lunch for the two of us. I like to serve it over polenta, but pasta or rice are great, too. It's happy in a slow cooker as well."

This was made using a combination of yellow and red peppers and only 4 Italian sausages. The sausages were cut into thirds. This made 2 great meals for DH and I. The first night we had this on top of cooked gluten free spaghetti. The last meal was served in toasted buns. The only thing I would change is to either use hot sausage or to add some red pepper flakes to add some zip. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
