Polenta Breakfast Bowl with Sausage & Peppers

Ingredients

• 1 cup Polenta (coarse ground cornmeal)
• 4 cups Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 lb Italian Sausage (removed from casings)
• 2 cups Bell Peppers (mixed colors), sliced
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. 1In a large saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in polenta, ensuring no lumps form.
2. 2Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the polenta is thick and creamy.
3. 3While the polenta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
4. 4Add sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for another minute.
5. 5Divide the cooked polenta among bowls. Top with the sausage and pepper mixture. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
