Italian Sausage and Peppers Skillet, adapted from Christina Cherrier.
Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.
These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers. The adaptations have not been kitchen-tested. Nutrition provenance and source limitations are listed with each recipe; missing nutrition stays unreported.

Before you start
- Stovetop and large skillet
- Knife and cutting board
- Instant-read thermometer
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Step 1
Heat the source method’s initial unquantified drizzle of oil over medium heat. Brown sausages on all sides, adding the listed optional water to prevent sticking; reserve while still partly cooked.
- Step 2
Discard excess water but keep brown bits. Add the method’s measured oil, onion, fennel, chili flakes and Italian seasoning. Add garlic and crushed tomato for 1–2 minutes, then bell pepper and diced tomatoes until crisp-tender.
- Step 3
Add broth and simmer briefly. Slice sausage into ¼–½-inch pieces, return and simmer for 5–10 minutes until pork sausage reaches 160°F, or poultry sausage 165°F, and sauce thickens.
- Step 4
Season and finish with scallion and basil. Add optional Parmesan if desired.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided
Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.
Listed allergens: milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- The publisher does not provide verified nutrition values; nutrition remains unreported.
- Source method mentions Parmesan without listing a quantity. Retained as an unquantified optional garnish.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
