Italian Sausage with Anaheim Peppers

I bought a package of Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage a few days ago (I had a $1 off coupon), and 3 Anaheim Peppers and made them for dinner last night. For the Italian Sausages, I added a little vegetable oil to my skillet and browned them for about 8 minutes on medium-high heat. The package instructions say to brown the sausages for 5 minutes, but I have an electric stove so it takes longer to cook everything. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Once the sausage was nicely browned on all sides, I added 1/2 cup of water, covered the skillet, and simmered on low for about 15-17 minutes to make sure the sausages cooked through.

For the Anaheim Peppers, I took the seeds out and sliced them. These peppers are mild and very versatile since they do not add heat to dishes just great flavor. On medium heat, I added a little vegetable oil to my skillet, seasoned the peppers with kosher salt and cooked them for about 5 minutes. Once the water dissolved from the skillet with the sausages, I added the peppers in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

I drained the excess oil from the sausages and peppers on a plate lined with paper towels before I served them with a side salad. The sausages were delicious, and the mild taste of the anaheim peppers really complimented each other.
