A farm-fresh take on a classic dish—this hearty, flavor-packed sausage and pepper skillet brings out the best in our pasture-raised sausage. Slow-simmered with sweet bell peppers, caramelized onions, and a rich tomato-infused sauce, it’s a comforting meal that’s as versatile as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- (1/4 cup) Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- (1 lb.) Sausage, Mild Italian, Link
- (2, sliced) Bell Peppers
- (2, sliced) Yellow Onions

Directions
- Brown the Sausage – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausages on both sides, about 7-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

- 4. Deglaze & Simmer – Pour in Marsala wine or broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato paste.
- 5. Finish the Dish – Return the sausages to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and let everything simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
