notes & tips
- SPAM works here too. Dice it into strips and cook the same way.
- On a bun: Pile the peppers, onions, and sausage into a hot dog bun for a loaded dog.
- Add spaghetti sauce: Stir in half a jar of spaghetti sauce in step 4 for a saucy version that's great over pasta.
- Fresh tomatoes: If you have a tomato or two, dice them and add at the end for freshness.
- Any peppers work. Green, red, yellow — or a mix.
