Grilled Sausage and Peppers is a super easy dinner that’s like a flavor party for your taste buds! Imagine juicy sausages, colorful peppers, and onions coming together on a grill or in a sizzling pan. It’s a classic recipe, meaning it’s been loved for a long time, and you get to choose if you want to cook it outside on a grill or inside on the stove.

First, you heat up your grill or pan – just like turning on a light switch. Then, you put the sausages on the grill or in the pan and let them cook until they’re nice and golden. While the sausages are cooking, chop up some bell peppers (they come in green, red, yellow, and orange) and onions. Mix them up with a sprinkle of olive oil, garlic, and some herbs. Toss everything together like you’re playing a gentle game of catch.

Now, the veggies join the sausage party. They hop onto the grill or into the pan, getting all soft and flavorful. When the sausages are done and the veggies are cozy, it’s time to put them together. If you have some hoagie rolls, you can give them a quick toast.

Assemble your creation: sausages in the rolls, topped with the grilled veggies. You can add cheese if you want. Let your masterpiece rest for a bit. This means giving it a short break so all the flavors can mingle. Sprinkle some green parsley on top for a final touch.

Now, grab your plate, and enjoy your Grilled Sausage and Peppers – a simple, timeless meal that’s as easy as pie (but way more savory)!
