Ingredients
Scale
For the Sausage + Peppers:

- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 (12 oz) package cajun-style Andouille sausage

Instructions
- Prep the Sausage:
Slice the Andouille sausage into rounds or lengthwise for a fuller look. - Cook the Sausage + Peppers:
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Once heated, add the sausage pieces and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until seared.
Add the onions and chopped bell peppers, stirring to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, and continue stirring as the vegetables soften and slightly char, about 10-15 minutes. - Serve:
Once everything is cooked through and tender, remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of side, such as basmati rice, brown rice, coconut rice, or mashed potatoes.
