You can also use a boiled potato and cooked broccoli that you have leftover. That’s what I did.

Bake for about 50 minutes till golden brown.
Once done, let it cool for about 10 minutes, cut, and serve with Sriracha sauce or tomato ketchup.

Notes:

You can use ground sausage meat instead of regular sausages.
Substitute any vegetables of your choice.
Heavy cream can be substituted with whole milk.
More eggs can be added. I think I will try 6 eggs next time.
Any bread is fine, good options will be leftover french bread, wholegrain bread, sourdough bread, etc
Use any cheese that you have, I used cheddar cheese.

The fun part of this casserole is that you can customize it to use whatever you like or have in your fridge.

Sausage and Peppers is a simple delicious meal that can be cooked up in no time. It is lightly spiced with a bit of turmeric and chili powder.

Even though we use hot and spicy sausages, they are not spicy for us! So adding a little bit of chili powder gives it the right amount of spice.

To give these sausages a little bit of gravy, adding onions and tomatoes is a must. It gives it a nice bit of gravy but not too much. It’s nice and tasty when eaten with bread.

You can use all the colors of bell peppers. I usually use about 1/3 of each pepper if using different colors of peppers. If using just 1 you can use the whole pepper cut in thin slices.

If you like sausages with grill marks, you could grill the sausages first and then put them into the gravy. Either way, it tastes great!

You can use any kind of sausages, Chicken sausages or even Vegan Sausages if you are vegetarian.

Ingredients required for Sausage and Peppers:

Sausages: I have used Italian hot and spicy sausages in this recipe but I have also used mild sausages, firecracker, and Bratwurst.

Bell Peppers: Any color bell pepper is fine or a combination of two or three. Whichever way you use them, we use one whole bell pepper for this recipe, thinly sliced. I have used 3 different colored bell peppers, about 1/3 each sliced into strips.

Onions: 1 large yellow onion, sliced

Tomatoes: 1 large tomato or 2 medium size tomatoes.

Spices:

Kashmiri Chili Powder- I have mentioned in my other recipes, that I Only use Kashmiri red chili powder in my cooking because of its mild taste and deep red color.

Turmeric powder- Just a little turmeric powder for color.

Salt to taste

How do you make Sausages and Peppers?

In a wide pan, heat up about 2 tablespoons of oil.

When the oil is hot, add onions and fry till translucent.

Add tomatoes, turmeric, and chili powder.

Cook this masala for about 5 minutes till the tomatoes turn soft.

Move the masala to the side and put the sausages in the pan.

Adding sausages to pan — Adding the sausages

Cook them on both sides.

Cover them with the onion tomato masala, put the lid on the pan, lower the flame and let the sausages cook for about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in between so the sausages don’t t stick to the pan.

Add the bell peppers on top of the sausages, cover them, and let them cook. Check for salt and adjust.

Once the peppers are cooked give it a good mix. If you feel there is too much gravy, you can boil it down to the consistency you want. Do not add any water.

Your delicious Sausages and Peppers are ready.

Eat them with bread or in a sandwich, in a hot dog bun, over rice, or with paratha.
