Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) mini smoked sausages

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by washing and dicing the bell peppers and chopping the onion and garlic. Set aside.

    Sauté the Sausages: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mini smoked sausages and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly translucent. Add the minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

        Add the Peppers: Stir in the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft and slightly caramelized.

          Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to meld for an additional 2 minutes.

            Combine and Melt: Return the browned sausages to the skillet. Mix everything together until evenly distributed. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, cover, and let it cook for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm as delicious bite-sized portions - perfect for appetizers or a fun dinner!
