- Slice the green peppers, red peppers, and green onion into strips.
- Add the sliced vegetables to the cooked sausage and simmer until they begin to soften.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and continue to simmer until all vegetables are cooked and flavors meld.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the stew over cooked white rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey sausage instead of hot and sweet sausage. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition. If you prefer a spicier dish, add some crushed red pepper flakes. Make sure to taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty stew over a bed of fluffy white rice for a satisfying meal. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a complete dinner, consider serving it alongside Luscious Lemon Heaven for a refreshing dessert.
Storage & Reheating
