It comes together in no time, thanks to your Instant Pot \/ pressure cooker.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of simmering for 4 hours, this easy pressure cooker version of sausage and peppers takes only a 25-minute High Pressure cook time. But it doesn\u2019t skimp on flavor, thanks to Italian sausages, dried seasonings, and tomato sauce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love this one-pot Instant Pot meal! It\u2019s delicious served over pasta<\/a>, rice<\/a>, or polenta, but it’s just as tasty with a nice crusty bread to sop up all the broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This recipe was originally created by Teri, a long-time Pressure Cooking Today reader. She adapted her family-favorite recipe to the pressure cooker and graciously let me share it with all of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We often make this recipe for dinner, so I\u2019ve updated the post with new photos and tips to help you make the best family dinner tonight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You only need a few simple ingredients for Instant Pot Sausage and Peppers<\/strong> for dinner tonight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker<\/strong>, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your bell peppers need to be cored, seeded, and thinly sliced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Lately, I’ve been using this awesome method for slicing bell peppers<\/a>. It might leave a little bit of pepper behind, but it’s SO much quicker.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use any color or size of bell pepper that you like. (My family swears that green peppers taste different from yellow, orange, or red, and each of my kids has a favorite color they prefer. So we prepare a mix of colors and freeze the extras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As long as you add it in the order listed, this is a simple toss-it-in-the-pot recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to add the water, spices, and tomatoes to the pot in the order listed in the recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, add the whole sausages, then the peppers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f We make this with 1 cup of water. However, if you prefer a thicker sauce, you can use just 1\/3 cup of water. Next, cook at High Pressure for 25 minutes. If you’re serving the sausages and peppers over rice or pasta, you can start preparing those now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the cook time ends, use a quick pressure release. Your meal is hot, ready, and delicious!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can transfer it to a serving dish or scoop it right from the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since I’m serving kids, I usually use tongs to remove the sausages from the cooking pot. Then I’ll slice them into smaller pieces and divide them up into the different bowls. However, that’s totally optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, for a thicker tomato sauce, simply use 1\/3 cup of water. Pour the tomatoes and tomato sauce on top of the peppers, and don\u2019t stir before pressure cooking.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> To round out your meal with some starch, serve it with pasta, toasted bread, polenta or rice.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can reheat servings in the microwave.<\/p> <\/div> Certainly! It\u2019s an extra step, but if you want to brown your sausage, use the Saute function before adding the remaining ingredients to the pressure cooking pot.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Try these other hearty sausage recipes next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
