5 Italian Sausages
1 Large Green pepper
1 Large Red Pepper
1 Large Onion or 2 Medium Onions
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes or 1 Habanero More or less Red Pepper Flakes- depends on how spicy you want the peppers
1 teaspoon Salt

In a saute pan, put 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat it up.
Heat a saute pan to medium and add the Italian sausage. Cook until all sides are browned, making sure the sausage is fully cooked before serving.
While the Italian Sausage is cooking, prepare the vegetables by slicing the onions, green peppers, and red peppers.
To ensure that the Italian sausage is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check its temperature.
Once the Italian sausage has finished cooking, take it out of the skillet and set it aside.
In the pan where the sausage is cooked, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat it up. Next, add the sliced onions, sliced peppers, and a pinch of salt. To make it spicy, you can add a habanero pepper or some crushed red pepper flakes.
To prepare the dish, cook onions and peppers until they become soft, which usually takes around 5 to 8 minutes. Once done, add a cup of water and return the Italian Sausage to the pan, along with the peppers and onions.
Simmer the sausage, onions, and peppers on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and cooked to your desired consistency.
Serve
Warm up a roll and place some the Italian sausage, onions, and peppers on it for a delicious meal. Enjoy!
