Instant Pot Italian Sausage and Peppers Is A Perfect Meal For Any Season!

We love Instant Pot recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Pulled Pork and Instant Pot Roast Beef.

INSTANT POT ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RECIPE

We love Italian Sausage and Peppers! That spicy, savory blend of delicious bites of sausage and tender strips of peppers and onions is just so good.

While I love making them in the Slow Cooker, sometimes I just don’t have that much time to spare. With my Instant Pot, they’re ready in minutes instead of hours!

DOES IT MATTER IF I CUT UP THE SAUSAGE BEFORE OR AFTER BROWNING IT?

You can do it either way, but I prefer to cut the sausages into bite-sized “coins” after browning them on the saute function. They hold their shape much easier when I do it this way, and I’ve found that they’re also easier to cut. You’ll get the same great flavor either way, though!

HOW SHOULD I SERVE INSTANT POT ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS?

Traditionally, Sausage and Peppers are served on a French roll or hoagie roll and eaten as a sandwich. If you want to be a rebel though, feel free! They’re delicious when served with rice, pasta, or even on their own. They’d also make a great topping for Instant Pot Baked Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes!

WILL INSTANT POT ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS FREEZE WELL?

This recipe freezes beautifully! If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, you can easily freeze them to have on hand. Whenever you’re in the mood for some delicious sausage and peppers, just pull them out, reheat, and you’re ready to go!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet or hot Italian sausages
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 3 red yellow or green peppers, cut into 2″ slices
  • 2 tablespoons of minced garlic

  • 1 6 oz can of tomato paste
  • 4 oz beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Brown the Italian Sausages on saute function. (I usually start with them whole, then slice them up while they’re cooking…they stay in tact and keep their shape better that way).
  • Layer half of the onions on bottom of Instant Pot, then add half of the peppers.
  • Put all of the browned sausage on top of that, followed by the rest of the onions and peppers.
  • Mix together diced tomatoes, tomato paste, spices and beef broth and pour over the top.
  • Cook on high for 5 minutes; Natural release 5 minutes, then quick release.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
