Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
  • 1 (19.76-oz.) package uncooked sweet Italian sausage links
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Parmesan Cheese Grits
  • Garnish: fresh parsley sprigs

Method

  • Drain tomatoes, reserving juice; set tomatoes aside.
  • Brown sausage links in a nonstick skillet over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add reserved tomato juice and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, turning occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
  • Saute peppers and onion in hot oil in another large nonstick skillet 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in tomatoes; cook until thoroughly heated. Remove sausage links from skillet, discarding liquid; cut links into bite-size pieces. Serve sausage over Parmesan Cheese Grits; top evenly with pepper mixture. Garnish, if desired.
