A quick and comforting skillet meal where savory sausages, sweet bell peppers, and onions cook together to create their own rich sauce. Ready in 30 minutes with minimal cleanup, it's a perfect weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or hot)
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 large bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep all ingredients: Slice onions and bell peppers into uniform strips. Mince the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage links and brown for 3-4 minutes per side until a crust forms. Remove to a plate.
  3. In the same pan, add sliced onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  4. Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, and smoked paprika (if using). Cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Slice the partially cooked sausages into 1-inch rounds. Return them to the pan and add the corn kernels. Stir everything together.
  6. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until sausages are cooked through and corn is tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Notes

For a leaner option, use chicken or turkey sausage. Frozen corn can be added without thawing. Do not overcrowd the pan when browning sausages. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
