Dianne's Italian Sausage and Peppers - Featured Reader

Dianne's Italian Sausage and Peppers
I am humbled every day by the membership over on our Facebook page. They are a great group of people, willing to help another reader at the drop of a hat, when someone is in search of a recipe that I don't have up at the site. There are some incredibly talented cooks over there too, many of whom are more than willing to share their tried and true, favorite, and sometimes heritage, family recipes. There are a lot of great recipes that show up exclusively on the Facebook page, some even award-winners, so if you haven't joined us over there yet, you should!

While Deep South Dish has been centered primarily around sharing my own southern recipes, I also want to honor our members and bring some of their recipes outside of the pages of Facebook and email. I decided to start a feature honoring you and your recipes, because bottom line, this site and it's sister Facebook page, are really all about you and us sharing recipes with each other, so that they continue to live on.  If you're a reader here or a Facebook fan and would be interested in being a featured reader here on Deep South Dish, please email me for the details. Really all it requires, is your recipe, a couple of pictures and a bit about you and how the recipe came to be a favorite. That's it!  Dianne Ledet has offered to join us here as our first reader feature. Enjoy!

Hi! My name is Dianne and I am a lifelong Houstonian, having been born and raised in Houston, Texas, where I still live with my retired Cajun husband.  I have three grown children and three beautiful granddaughters. My husband and I are big sports fans, who love the Houston Astros, Rockets and Texans, and... Auburn football! 

I still work full time and while I do love to cook and I enjoy the recipes here at Deep South Dish, I also love recipes with shortcuts – like this one – that I can fix in a snap when I get home after a long day at work.  This recipe for Italian Sausage and Peppers is a re-creation of a favorite from a local Italian restaurant in my hometown. It's one of those incredibly tasty, but super easy recipes, that can be put together quickly.

I use two packages of Italian sausage links and prefer to use one sweet Italian sausage and one hot Italian sausage.


Slice the sausage links about 1/2-inch thick, and place them in a large skillet. Cook, stirring often, until sausage is evenly browned.  Add 1 to 2 medium onions cut into strips, using however much you like, and cook until they are translucent.


Stir in three cups Marinara sauce. I like to use the Buitoni fresh marinara sauce found in the refrigerated section, but Paul Newman’s marinara sauce is also great.


Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower heat to simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Stir in four large green bell peppers, that have been cored, seeded, and cut in strips. Cook for an additional 10 minutes and that folks, is it!

Serve with crusty Italian or French bread. Pillsbury makes a good one that is usually found in the store next to the biscuits and dinner rolls.

Buon appetito!
