GRAMMY’S SAUSAGE ‘N PEPPERS is a yummy, quick skillet dinner of smokey sausage, fork-tender veggies, and carmelized onions over your choice of rice, grits, noodles, or mashed potatoes that is sure to be hit around your table tonight! I was in a pinch last night, needing a simple dinner option after a busy day and this skillet was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the bell peppers sitting in my crisper in the fridge. Do you ever do that, too?
I just starting slicing up our favorite jalapeño and cheese smoked sausage, the bell peppers, onion, and then saw a big ol’ carrot in the fridge and grabbed it, too! Yup, anything that caught my eye got sliced up for this yummy skillet! 🙂 haha. Then, a sprinkle of one of our favorite seasonings…Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning….for a hint of heat and voila, GRAMMY’S SAUSAGE ‘N PEPPERS was ready! I served it over brown rice for a healthier option but white rice, grits, mashed potatoes, noodles, or zoodles would work great, too! The skies the limit….have fun with this and ENJOY!
