Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) mini chicken or turkey sausages, sliced into rounds

1 medium bell pepper (any color: red, yellow, or green), diced into small pieces

1 small onion, diced finely

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, adjust based on heat preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

8 oz (225g) shredded mozzarella cheese

1 small packet of biscuit dough or puff pastry (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Sausages: In a large skillet, pour in the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced mini sausages to the skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they are browned and cooked through.

    Add Vegetables: With the sausages nicely browned, stir in the diced onion and bell pepper. Continue to sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened and the onion becomes translucent.

      Incorporate Garlic and Seasoning: Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes into the skillet. Cook this mixture for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic.

        Combine and Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid, allowing it to cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

          Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Remove the skillet lid and taste the mixture. Adjust the flavors with additional salt and pepper as needed to enhance the dish.

            Prepare for Serving: If you’re using biscuit dough or puff pastry, bake it according to the instructions on the package. Once baked, let it cool slightly before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.

              Serving Suggestions: Serve the sausage and pepper skillet directly from the pan for a casual feel, or spoon the mixture over the baked biscuit pieces or puff pastry. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.

                Enjoy: Serve while hot and dive into your delightful Mini Sausage and Pepper Skillet Bites!
