Sausage Skillet Recipe

The Ingredients

To whip up this quick and easy smoked sausage skillet, gather the following ingredients:

• Corn Kernels: To add a subtle crunch to this dish, I’m adding two cups of corn kernels sliced straight off the cob.
• Pre-Cooked Sausage: I’m adding 12oz of pre-cooked sausage for the main source of protein. Just toss ’em in, and they bring this savory, meaty oomph to your dish. No cooking stress, just deliciousness.
• Red Bell Pepper: Dice a large red bell pepper, and you’ve got yourself a pop of color and crunch.
• Zucchini: I’m slicing up one large zucchini to add a touch of mild flavor and tender texture. Zucchini is a super lowkey vegetable that’s easy to sneak in for picky eaters.
• Olive Oil: Also known as your trusty sidekick in the kitchen. Pour a tablespoon and drizzle it, swirl it, whatever – it’s there to make things taste yummy and keep things from sticking.
• Chili Powder: I’m adding half a teaspoon of chili powder for flavor. Not too much, just a gentle kick that wakes up your taste buds.
• Fresh Cilantro: Chop as much as your heart desires to sprinkle a little bit of green happiness on top and make everything taste a little brighter.

1. Prep The Ingredients:
   • Cut the corn kernels off the cob.
   • Slice the zucchini into rounds. Nice and thin, like coins.

2. Heat The Pan:

4. Sauté The Veggies:
   • In the same skillet, toss in the sliced zucchini, diced red bell pepper, and corn kernels.
   • Add in the chili powder and give them a stir and allow them to cook for a few more minutes or until the veggies soften up.
5. Finish With Cilantro:
   • Chop up that fresh cilantro. It’s like the grand finale.
   • Sprinkle it over the skillet. A touch of green freshness.
6. Serve And Enjoy:
