Oven Sausage With Peppers-N-Onions

VickyJ's Note:

This is an easy way to cook sausage, peppers and onions together. They cook to be really juicy and acquire the flavor of the vegetables while cooking. I serve the mixture on hoagie rolls. You could also add shredded Mozzarella atop sausages/vegies and put back in the oven, just until the cheese melts! These are great with oven french fries. This recipe could also be expanded and taken to potluck dinners and kept warm in a crock-pot and just have the hoagie rolls on the side for people to make their own sandwiches. There are alot of possibilities with this recipe.

I had 30 people over last night... this recipe and comments were a god send!! Nonstick foil worked great. I cooked 2 trays for a total of 45 links with 10 big bell pepper; red & green and 6 medium onions @ 375f for 50 minutes (last 10 w/o foil). Sausage was nicely bronzed. I had a tray of spicy links that came out nice but lost a lot of the "hot" factor so maybe 50 minutes is too long. No survivors!

Made this tonight on the grill and the whole family enjoyed it. I did take the tin foil off for the last 15 minutes or so to brown it up, like someone suggested. Very good. Will be sure to make again.

Excellent!! I needed a quick meal and I didn't have time to cook my usual sausage & peppers recipe(stovetop!) I did listen to some other reviewers and browned the sausages ever so quickly in a frying pan (just to get a few lines so that they wouldn't be so pale). I omited the italian seasonings (prefer my sausages & peppers less seasoned). Cooked it 55 minutes, but the last 10 minutes I sliced the sausages almost thru (my husband likes things more well done) and took off the foil - helped brown the sausages a little further. All in all, quick, tasty, and easy!! Thanks for posting!!
