Italian sausage and peppers are often served at family reunions, fairs and other large gatherings. Alas, not all sausages are gluten free. Many sausages have fillers in them that are grain based. Fillers help cut the cost of using 100% meat in the sausage. The grain also helps to absorb the fat. You may have to be bold and ask your server for the brand of sausage used or whether they know the actual ingredients. Or just wait until you get home and follow this recipe for delicious gluten free sausage and peppers.
Today, my son and I had fun picking out 4 different colored peppers to sauté for our sausage and peppers dinner. The gluten free sausage that goes best with this dish is Premio Sweet Italian sausage.
Bring some color to your table tonight. I hope you enjoy sausage and peppers!

July 15, 2013 at 11:49 pmHi Missy,
Thanks for visiting. Some foods are naturally gluten free like these sausage that simply don’t have any fillers. Gluten is mostly found in cereal & grains, especially wheat. Some substitutes don’t taste too good, but more and more the food industry has been making better tasting gluten free foods because a lot of folks are finding that they feel better without gluten.
Half my family has celiac. They must eat gluten free. Hence, I determined to take our favorite recipes and make them gluten free.
Gluten free is not necessary for everyone. That being said, I hope you will try this recipe. The wine sauce is delicious.
