Marsala Sausage and Peppers, an easy and hearty dinner or lunch that you will make again and again! This post is sponsored by BJ’s Wholesale Club, all opinions are 100% my own. #BJsSmartSaver

I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but this one came out of my lovely Mother’s kitchen. The first time I tried it I instantly fell in love!

We love all things Italian in our family, so Italian sausage is definitely high on the list. We normally just love a simple smoked Italian sausage on the grill but my Mom decided to mix things up and made this recipe instead.

And, I have to be honest, these are the BEST sausages I have ever had. In a thick, rich tomato sauce made with Marsala wine, peppers and onions… this one is just a knock-out!

On the plus side, I was able to get everything for this recipe at BJ’s Wholesale Club. We were there any way doing our monthly shopping trip when I spotted a large package of Johnsonville Italian sausages.

We needed to make dinner that night for a large gathering and I knew my Mom’s Marsala Sausage and Peppers recipe would be a crowd pleaser. The sausages come in a 12-pack so it was perfect.

But, being a wholesale club, a lot of the items at BJ’s naturally come in larger packaging. Being that they are larger packaging means cheaper prices.

Don’t let that discourage you though if you only need 3 sausages for a recipe, don’t worry. Just freeze the rest to use another night and save some cash!

I also picked up some grinder rolls in the bakery to make sandwiches if people wanted them. And, a package of sliced provolone really sets them off!

Items purchased at BJ’s for this recipe:

  • Italian Sausage
  • Bell Peppers
  • Onions
  • Sliced Provolone Cheese
  • Canned Crushed Tomatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Dried Oregano
  • Red wine (you can use dry red wine or Marsala for this recipe)
  • Grinder Rolls

Marsala Sausage and Peppers Recipe Directions:

  • Brown sausages in a large, heavy bottom skillet with a little olive oil. When seared on all sides, take out and set aside.
  • Add peppers and onions to the pan and cook until they start to brown slightly. Add sliced garlic and sauté one minute. Season with salt.
  • Add wine and deglaze the pan. Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano. Return the sausages to the pan and simmer, covered for at least one-hour stirring occasionally.
  • Serve over noodles, polenta or in sandwiches!

Like most red sauces, the longer this cooks the better it gets! I suggest letting it simmer for at least one hour so the sauce gets a deep, rich flavor and the sausages become super tender.

Don’t have time to watch a pot? Pop it in the oven!

If you don’t have time to stir this occasionally, make this in a dutch oven or an oven-safe pot. At the step where you let it simmer on the stove, just cover it and place it in a preheated 250-degree oven and slow cook for 4 hours.

Author: Dana @ ThisSillyGirlsKitchen.com

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 Italian Sausages

  • 24 ounce canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • In a large, heavy bottom skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and brown the sausages on all sides. Do not worry about cooking the sausages through, when browned, take out of the pan and set aside.

    You know, I generally leave marsala for chicken or a good tiramisu recipe, but I could see how it would add some amazing flavor to sausage and peppers. I don’t even normally serve my S&P with sauce, but I’ll definitely be giving this recipe a try!

      Yes, you can sub beef broth. It will not be as flavorful. I understand if you do not drink alcohol, but if you just don’t like the taste of wine, please don’t let that deter you. It does not taste of wine, just gives a nice depth of flavor to the overall dish.
