The following Smoked Sausage and Bell Peppers Recipe post is sponsored by Bar-S and opinions expressed are that of my own.
Are you looking to feel inspired this week at dinner time?
Well I have 2 ways to help you do this through a Smoked Sausage and Bell Peppers Recipe as well as information about a partnership between Bar-S and No Kid Hungry in the month of September.
When I was a teen, my Mom used to make an easy week day meal with smoked sausage along with peppers, onions, and yellow rice. Well I decided to recreate this same dish, but of course I had to put my own little twist on it with serving it over a homemade Quinoa and Rice mixture.
Plus, I was excited to incorporate Bar-S Smoked Sausage since I was made aware of their initiative to help eliminate childhood hunger (keep reading for more information).
Now I must say that this dish worked out perfectly for our crazy week because we were catching up on Flag Football Games after delays caused by Hurricane Irma. Not to mention, I enjoyed 2 days of left overs and made sausage dogs over the weekend due to picking up an awesome Bar-S Smoked Sausage Family Pack with 14 links.
Smoked Sausage and Bell Peppers Recipe
Ingredients: (Serves 6)
1 Red Onion
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
Directions:
First chop the Red Onion into 1/2 inch slices and then do the same for Bell Peppers removing the seeds. I cut the peppers in half as I sliced them to make them similar to the size of the onions.
Next add 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil along with the vegetables into a large pan, placing the stove on a medium setting. Cook this mixture down for 18-20 minutes stirring occasionally.
Then, slice the Smoked Sausage into 1/4 inch pieces and add this to the vegetables after cooked down. Leave on the medium setting and stir occasionally for the next 8-10 minutes.
Once cooked, serve immediately over a 1/2 cup of the cooked Yellow Quinoa and Rice.
How to prepare Yellow Quinoa and Rice!
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of Uncooked White Rice
1/2 Cup of Uncooked Quinoa
2 Cups of Chicken Broth
1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Tumeric
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
Directions:
About ten minutes into the veggies cooking, take the Chicken Broth, Olive Oil and Ground Tumeric, combine and bring to a boil in a pot. Add the uncooked White Rice and Quinoa, stir, cover, and then move to a low setting.
Cook this for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
