Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sausage links and cook them until they are browned on all sides, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
• Slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

• In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
• Add the sliced yellow onion, red onion, and minced garlic.
• Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet.
• Season with 1 teaspoon each of dried basil and dried oregano.
• Pour in ¼ cup of white wine, stirring to combine.
• Continue cooking and stirring until the peppers and onions are tender, which will take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3: Combine and Simmer

• Return the sliced sausage back into the skillet with the veggies.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
• This allows the flavors to meld together and the sausage to heat through.
• If the mixture seems a bit dry, add a little more white wine as needed.
