Sausage, Peppers, and Onions – Pressure Cooking Or Slow Cooker

I found this recipe and decided to make this for our dinner. ย We loved that it was made in a pressure cooker. ย Hubby got a lesson on how the pressure cooker works. ย He saw how long the recipe was supposed to take so that he could gauge what time dinner was going to be on the table. ย The problem is that he didn’t factor in the fact that the pressure cooker has to reach pressure before it starts cooking the food.

Hubby and I loved this dinner.  It was simple and delicious!

We ate it over rice I had cooked earlier in the pressure cooker. ย I reheated it with butter, salt, and a Tablespoon or two of water. ย Then I warmed it up in the microwave for about 3 minutes. ย Afterward, I fluffed up the rice.

This would also be delicious over pasta. ย We will save the rest of the sauce and use it over pasta for a quick dinner. ย Yum!

I used basil garlic pork sausage from Fresh Thyme. ย It’s bulk sausage, so you can choose how many sausage links you want to buy. ย I only bought two sausage links since they are huge. ย Then I cut each one into 4 pieces for a total of 8 pieces.

    I made this tonight, in my Instant Pot pressure cooker. I added brown rice to the recipe. I rinsed a cup of rice in my sieve, placed the rice in the pot. Then I added a cup of water extra to the 1/2 cup in the recipe (so 1.5 cups water total). I used a package of 6 links of Jennie-O Turkey Italian Sausage, cut into pieces. Used 1 large of each of red, yellow and orange pepper cut in strips and then also added some chopped frozen green pepper I had in the freezer. I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of crushed. Everything else was the same.

    DELICIOUS!!!! I can hardly wait to have it again for lunch tomorrow.

  7. I came across this recipe and wanted to try it. I was reading the ingredients to where you mention adding a jar of crushed tomatoes and a jar of spaghetti sauce and had to stop. You have no idea how different “a jar” of these can be, especially in Canada. I have had my Instant Pot long enough to know that if the ratios aren’t right, I could get a burn message with these tomato products. If you could update this recipe with the oz. for each, I’d love to try it.

    1. It would be either an 24 or a 25 ounce jar of sauce.

      1. Ignore this reply.

    2. This is the correct reply to your comment. I use a 14 oz. can of tomato sauce.

      1. Thanks. What about the crushed tomatoes?

      2. 28 oz or 2-14 oz. I don’t like chunky tomatoes so I used crushed tomatoes. You can also used diced tomatoes.
