Sausage and Peppers Freezer Meal

 Ingredients

  • 1 lb. of Italian sausage see directions for preparing it below
  • 1/2 a yellow pepper sliced
  • 1/2 a red pepper sliced
  • 1 onion chopped or sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 tsp. cajun seasoning
  • 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
Instructions
  1. Remove the sausage from the casing and slice. 

    I prefer to actually squeeze out sausage meatballs and flatten them a bit with my fingers to slicing. It is a messier method, but it is easier to remove the casing this way.

  2. Fry the sausage slices in a frying pan over medium-high heat until lightly browned on both sides.
  3. Blot the cooked sausage slices on a paper towel to remove some of the grease.
  4. To assemble this meal, place the cooked sausage pieces in a large resealable freezer bag.
  5. Add the sliced peppers, onion, minced garlic, cajun seasoning, and the can of diced tomatoes.
  6. Remove the excess air from the bag, seal and freeze.
  7. On the day of cooking, thaw the sausage and peppers freezer meal.
  8. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until heated through.
  9. Serve over rice or in a wrap.
Recipe Notes

You can use mild or spicy sausage depending on your family's preference.
