Directions
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the sausage links and cook them, turning every few minutes so they brown evenly. Keep cooking until they’re nicely golden and the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C), which should take around 10 minutes. When the sausages are done, move them to a plate but leave any juices in the pan. Toss in the onions and red bell pepper, then cook and stir occasionally until they’re soft and browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serving Style Ideas
Serve with grilled peppers and onions for a classic pairing. They also go great on a toasted bun with mustard and sauerkraut or alongside a fresh green salad for a lighter option.
Leftover Storage Guide
Store leftover cooked sausages in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat thoroughly before eating.
