Sausage, Peppers and Onions

This isn't really a recipe, as much as it's a dinner suggestion.  It's quick and easy and has ton's of flavor.  Use whatever kind of sausage you like and there are a lot of low fat variations on the market now too.  This is one of my hubby's favorite meals.

What you'll need:

2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Pkg sausage of your choice.  I used Sweet Sausage above. 
1 Bell Pepper - cut into pieces that are on the larger size.
1 Onion - cut into pieces about the same size as the bell pepper.
Salt and Pepper to taste

Par boil the sausage in a pan where the water comes about half way up the sausage for about 10 minutes on each side.  The sausage will start to look sort of gray in color.
Cut the par boiled sausage into bite sized pieces.  Now put some Olive Oil in a large skillet or dutch oven and add all the sausage and veggies at once.  Cook over medium heat for about 20-30 minutes or until the sausage is nicely browned and the veggies are slightly tender.  You still want the veggies to have bite to them.
Salt and pepper to taste.  My husband and I eat this alone but it would be yummy served with some mashed potatoes.  Just sayin.
