What Do You Need To Make Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers and Onions?
Here's everything you need for this dinner.

The full list.
It's that ridiculously easy recipe you can make on repeat all summer long without messing up your kitchen.
How To Make Oven Sausage, Peppers and Onions
Making sausage peppers and onions in the oven could not be any easier.
Here's what you need to do.
Slice up the bell peppers and onions and toss them on a sheet pan.
And don't forget to line your sheet pan with parchment paper so it doesn't stick.
After you've done that drizzle on some olive oil, salt and pepper and use your hands to toss everything together. You'll want to get a jump start on cooking the vegetables, so these go in for 10 minutes, first.
Then, after 10 minutes is up, you'll add the mild Italian sausages to the pan, just scoot the peppers over a little to make room. It doesn't need to be neat or pretty.
When the sausages are done cooking (no longer pink in the middle) take the sheet pan out of the oven and slice up the sausages.
Now you can wait 10 minutes so you don't lost a lot of the juices that make them nice and tender.
Add on the provolone cheese and bake this until it has just melted.
That's it!
How To Tell When The Sausages Are Cooked
If you want to take the guesswork out of cooking the sausages, than I super highly suggest using thermometer with a probe that you can insert into one of the sausage links and monitor the temperature on the outside of your oven.
This way you aren't cutting in to the sausage and letting all of the juice out only to find out it's not cooked and still pink in the middle.
These little thermometers come with a tethering cord, so one end is a probe which goes in to the meat and the other end attaches to a digital screen that you leave on the outside of the oven, mine is magnetized so it magnets right on to my oven door.
But the main point is it's a real time saver.

I found the cooking time for the veggies way too long as they came out burned. Next time I will put them in halfway the sausages cooking time.
