Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Chicken sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a large package of smoked sausage.

Add some water to the pan to heat the sausage through.

Once the water drains out, remove the sausage from the pan.

Slice the sausage or leave it whole, depending on preference.

Add a little olive oil to the pan and let it heat up.

Sauté 1 white onion and 3 bell peppers (yellow, red, green) in the pan.

Add a pinch of salt to help pull the water out of the vegetables.

Cook the peppers and onions until soft and tender, developing a nice brown color.

Add about 1/2 cup of sherry to deglaze the pan, scraping up the flavors with a spatula or tongs.

Return the sausage to the pan and mix everything together, heating through.
