Tips – Sausage & Peppers Recipe

  • At home, we often use homegrown peppers for this recipe because they are much more flavorful than most store bought peppers. Here are some pepper seeds on Amazon if you want to try growing your own sweet peppers and/or hot peppers.
  • If you do not have any tomato paste, you can add your favorite sausage-based tomato sauce.

What are Italian sausages?

In America, Italian sausages are usually pork sausages seasoned with fennel and other spices. Italian sausages generally come in three varieties; mild, sweet or hot. The main difference between these sausages are that hot Italian sausages contain more hot pepper flakes, mild Italian sausages contain only a minimal amount of hot pepper flakes and sweet Italian sausages contain more sweet basil.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • Susanne posted a very nice note about my Bread Machine Raisin Bread and many of my other bread machine recipes – “The raisin bread is outstanding! I’ve made it so many times I no longer have to follow the recipe. All of the Bread Dad recipes I’ve tried have come out perfect and delicious. It’s so nice to not have to experiment with other online recipes—I just go to the Bread Dad site & choose a new variety~~I know it will be great. I’ve made 16 different breads so far & have not been disappointed. Thank you Bread Dad—your instructions & hints are the BEST!“
  • Trisha left a great tip on how to convert my Bread Machine French Bread into a softer Italian bread – “Bread dad single handedly taught me how to use a bread machine to make the most delicious breads! His recipes are always the go-to in our household This French bread recipe definitely gets the most use, though! It has a perfect crumby crust and hard bottom, and if you want it to be a little softer (more like an Italian loaf vs the French loaf) all you have to do is add a small amount of fat (oil, butter, coconut oil, etc) making it a perfect recipe for basically any bread need.“
  • Heather left some amazing details on how to make “cinnamon crunch” bagels & “no boil” bagels in the comment section of my Bread Machine Bagels recipes. Read Heather’s whole comment for extra information – “If anyone wants to try it, I make my bagels into cinnamon crunch bagels by melting some butter, dipping the top into the butter and then dipping the top into a bowl of cinnamon sugar. Then I put it into the oven at 400 for 8 minutes. Take it out immediately and give it at least 5 minutes to cool, unless you want to deal with molten sugar in your mouth.“
  • Janette left me a super nice comment about my buttery Bread Machine White Bread & bread machine recipes – “Love this recipe. Actually, love all the bread dad recipes. I have used this bread for toast, sandwiches, and just bread and butter. Most of the bread dad recipes I use, just go through the dough cycle and then you do the rest…which I love, but this one is soooooo very easy. I seem to be making it every other day. Thanks, Bread Dad! Keep up the great work bringing us fabulous recipes for our bread machines.“
  • Martha converted my Bread Machine Breadstick Recipe into some awesome cheesy breadsticks – “These are quick & easy to make, and they’re a great way to class up any meal from a simple soup & salad to a full on gourmet meal. I just took a batch out of the oven for tonight. This time I split the dough into 16 equal pieces and rolled them into slightly flattened balls, brushed with the EVOO & sprinkled with freshly grated parm. Outstanding! As good, if not better than any artisan bread you may find in the breadbasket at a nice restaurant.“
