Sausage Peppers & Greens

Sausage Peppers and Greens

Sausage Peppers & Greens can be a full nutritious meal – chock full of spicy sausage and lots of greens and peppers. Easy to make and very satisfying.

This is a great combination of flavors, along with being quick and simple to make. Plus it’s a complete meal in itself. This is a Paleo dish, nutritious, and versatile – either as a main dish or a side dish. Increase the greens or cut the sausage in half if you want it to be a side vegetable dish that just uses sausage for seasoning.

This is one of those dishes I like to throw together when there’s little time. I always have sausage, spinach and bell peppers in the freezer. Plus I find it satisfying without being heavy. Hope you enjoy it!
