Italian Sausage And Pepper Casserole
This Italian Sausage and Pepper Casserole is a bold, colorful dish with savory sausage, sweet peppers, and melty mozzarella—perfect for quick dinners or meal prep.
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat while you prep the filling.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook Italian sausage until browned, about 7–8 minutes. Break it up with a spoon and drain excess fat.
Stir in diced onion, sliced bell peppers (red, green, yellow), and minced garlic. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly caramelized.
Add diced tomatoes with juice. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Spread the sausage and pepper mixture evenly in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until melted and golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to help it set.
