Sausage with Peppers and Onions
ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z2-Beef,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Poultry
This recipe can be made in a pinch when you take advantage of the pre-cut produce in the grocery store. That way if you are cooking for just yourself you don’t buy a lot of ingredients that will go to waste. It’s a little more expensive by the pound, but it’s cheaper overall not to have the leftovers if you aren’t going to get to them in time to eat them before they spoil.
