Sausage and Peppers on Blackstone
One of my favorite easy dinner recipes is Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches. My whole family loves them, and even the picky eaters will eat these hearty sausage sandwiches without any complaints!
Growing up, my family cooked the sausages in an electric skillet or large skillet on the stove. I make baked sausages and peppers on a sheet pan or Instant Pot sausage and peppers or air fryer sausage, peppers and onions. You can also make this hearty meal on your flat top grill. It’s a great recipe for grilling season and takes minutes to make!
Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients from the grocery store for this easy recipe. Full amounts are in the printable recipe card below.
- Italian sausages — either mild or sweet Italian sausage or hot. You can also use Italian chicken sausage or turkey sausage, but the method will be slightly different since these are usually precooked.
- Onion — a white or yellow onion
- Bell peppers — I like a mix of red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers and orange peppers. Green bell peppers will also work.
- Oil — We use avocado oil, but you can use vegetable oil or another oil with a high smoke point.
- Salt and black pepper — You can add also red pepper flakes for extra heat and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for added flavor if you like.
- Optional Sandwich ingredients — hoagie buns, sliced provolone cheese or slices of mozzarella cheese if making sandwiches
How to Make Blackstone Sausage and Peppers with Onions
First, you will need to cut peppers and onions in thin strips. We do the prep inside and carry the meat and vegetables out on baking sheet or foil trays.
Preheat the griddle to medium heat, and add the oil to the griddle. When it’s nice and hot, place the sausages on the griddle surface. Then, place the sliced peppers and onions on the griddle next to the meat and season with salt and pepper.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning the sausages over 1-2 times. Use a large grilling spatula or hibachi spatulas to turn the veggies over a few times, as well.
Use a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the meat is at least 160 degrees F. The peppers and onions should be soft and juicy. We like to add a pat or 2 of butter right before serving. This is completely optional, though.
How to Make Italian Sausage Sandwiches
To make sausage and pepper sandwiches, place a slice or 2 slices of provolone cheese or mozzarella cheese in a hoagie roll. Add an Italian sausage link and top with peppers and onions. Or, Top with more cheese and broil the sandwiches on a baking sheet until the cheese is melted. You can add marinara sauce, ketchup or BBQ sauce — one of my kids always adds BBQ sauce to her sandwiches!
Storing Leftovers
Refrigerate leftover sausage and peppers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. My favorite way to use leftover sausage peppers and onions is this delicious leftover sausage and peppers pasta recipe!
Recipe Tip
Use foil pans to carry prepped ingredients out to the griddle and the finished meal back into the house.
If using pre-cooked sausages, you can slice them and cook them just before the peppers and onions are done, as they cook quickly.
