I"m not sure what you're looking for-- but this is how I do 'Sausage
and peppers'.

1 pound of sausage, more or less
1-2 large sweet onion
2 large peppers [red or green]
4 tbls olive oil
4 tbls butter


Brown sausage in oils- remove from pan. [if serving with pasta or
rice- now is a good time to cut them up-- We like them on sturdy rolls
& leave them whole]
Cut onion and pepper into strips. Saute until starting to carmelize.
Return sausage to pan, cover and put in a 300 oven for 20-30 minutes.

No Italians in the family-- but this is the way we like sausage.

IME sausage usually doesn't do that will in the freezer--- but for
some reason the Sam's Club hot gets hotter and the sweet stays
excellent for a couple months.
