Sausage and Peppers

This is another one of those recipes I came up with when I hadn't planned out lunch for the day. I thought it was perfect since it was low carb, and it was FREEZING outside. There's nothing better than a hot meal on a cold day. I didn't have any loaf bread, so I just toasted up some Garlic bread. I think this would also be good served on a hot dog bun, just don't cut up the sausage into such small pieces.



Ingredients

* 1-2 lb sausage (about 8 links, we prefer sweet, you may use hot)
* 1 large sweet onion, sliced and chopped
* 1 large red pepper, sliced and chopped (or any other sweet pepper)
* olive oil
* salt
* pepper
* 1 loaf Italian bread ( or garlic toast, or any bread you have on hand)
* 1 Tblspn spicy mustard (optional)
Directions

Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan.
Brown the sausage in the oil until you get a nice color on the outside and you no longer see any"pink".Add onions and peppers.
Cook the onions and peppers approximately 5 minutes or until onions start to become translucent. Add salt and pepper, and spicy mustard, stirring to evenly distribute the mustard. Turn heat down to simmer.
Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
Serve on Italian Bread.
