Keto Italian Sausage and Peppers Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian Sausage
• 2 medium Bell Peppers
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 28 oz can Canned Crushed Tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the 1 pound of Italian sausage. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
2. 2Add the 2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips, and the 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices, to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant, stirring constantly.
3. 3Pour the 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and the 1 teaspoon of dried basil. Season with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
4. 4Return the cooked Italian sausage to the skillet with the tomato and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low (300°F / 150°C).
5. 5Let the mixture simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded. The sausage should be heated through, and the sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
6. 6Serve the Keto Italian Sausage and Peppers Skillet hot.
