I used to believe we could not have dinner unless it called for elaborate meal preparation. I prepared fancy dishes for myself and Bryan. Then, I had kids. No more fancy meals that took hours to cook. I needed something that would appeal to my kids and alI discovered this Sausage and Peppers recipe from Ragú, using Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce and adapted it to fit our tastes. It calls for seven common ingredients (no need to make a mad dash to the store or search at specialty markets!) and has been approved by the pickiest eaters in my family. I serve it on a bed of rice, but it could also be used with Italian Rolls to make a succulent sandwich or served on a bed of pasta.

I have a dish I make that is similar to this minus the Ragu. I hadn’t thought about adding it. It sounds like I should try it though. I bet the family will love it.
Okay this will definitely be added to my dinner menu. It looks so delicious.
Love the spicy sausage! I think my family would love it!
I like the idea of having a gluten free Italian dish. Now when friends come over I dont have to worry. We can enjoy such a great recipe.
I think we have this product at home, but I never really bothered to know how my mom uses it. Now it makes me want to cook something for myself!
Sausage and peppers is my husbands favorite. This is so easy! I am definitely going to have to give this a try.
My husband would love this!
Looks like a yummy meal! I’ve never been an elaborate meal maker, stuff like this is perfect for me.
Yumy! I would devour this meal! I love sausages and so does everyone else in my house. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!
Sausage and peppers are two of my favorite food combos! This recipe looks amazing!
That’s a tasty looking recipe that I’m sure my husband would love. Can’t go wrong w/peppers and sausage where he is concerned, that’s for sure. 🙂
I just made sausage, pepper and onion sandwiches the other night, I never tried to make it over rice.
My Husband would love this dish. He is a huge fan of spicy sausage. I can’t wait to try it out.
You had me at “sausage and peppers” haha. This looks amazing!
Hubby loves sausage and peppers. I make something similar but I put the rice in the peppers. We go through a lot of rice because my son is gluten-free.
This looks similar to a rice bowl recipe I tried and loved. This one looks very delicious!
This is a nice recipe and it is made with common things most people have in their kitchens. Those types of recipes are the best.
This i have to try and what’s funny is that I actually have all of these ingredients right now in my kitchen. We would love to eat this! Thanks for the recipe.
That looks so amazing. I love all the ingredients
Sausage recipe…hmm this is something I could definitely try at home. Thanks for sharing!
A gluten free meal is always yummy!
This Look So Delicious I Can’t Wait To Make!
This kind of looks like a deconstructed stuffed peppers. I bet that would be a lot quicker to make, too!
I always struggle to get past the need to make dinner into more than it really needs to be. I am now focusing more on simpler meals with some simple side dishes to compliment the main meal and bee done with it. This looks like it would fit right in with that meal plan. Thanks!
Your meal looks amazing! I think my husband would really like this.
My husband is on a sausage kick lately. I definitely need new recipes!
I love spicy pasta and easy recipes! This is both. My mom loves these types of recipes too so I’m going to share it with her too!
Sounds and looks like a great tasting meal. Have you ever tried it over pasta?
Sausage and peppers is one of my mothers favorites. My husband and kids really like it as well. We just tried Tra-Dish tonight and loved it.
This looks amazing and super easy to make. We all love spicy sausage in our home and Ragu of course. ;D
I love sausage in my pasta! What a delicious and easy recipe!
This look so delicious! I definitely need to try it!
This looks great…and sausage and peppers is always good. Does Ragu have corn syrup? And do they make an organic version?
I don’t believe Ragu makes an organic version but there is no corn syrup in the old world traditional formula ingredients.
I love this sausage and peppers recipe because of the combination of flavors and the fact that it is gluten-free.
This looks so good! What an easy and great meal idea!
I’m not a huge fan of spicy anything but my husband would really love it. I’m all about the quck and easy meal!
My mother made a similar dish growing up. I can’t eat spicy sausage right now but it looks so delicious!
What a perfect healthy and easy meal. Easy AND Healthy, and I am sure the kiddos will love it too!
We always freeze pepper from our garden so we can enjoy them year round! This would be agreat recipe for us!
I love sausage and peppers and this looks delicious!! I will be giving this recipe a try!!
I love Sausage & Peppers! This looks so delicious and easy to make!
This is something my son and husband would really love for dinner! On rice is good too.
Yum… this looks delicious, I always can find a great, simple and budget friendly dinner idea on your page Ms. Pam.. just love how creative you are. Thanks for another wonderful dinner that I can dish up for ALL my family members, even the ones with allergies…
Yum! This is right up my alley and something I would love, thanks for sharing!
We make something similar to this sometimes, I just love sweet Italian sausage. This looks yummy!
OOO it reminds me of stuffed peppers. It makes me think of using ground beef instead of sausage since we don’t eat pork or we could do chicken sausage! Yea!
This looks delicious. I want to try this out instead of my same old pasta meals.
We’re not big spicy food eaters around here, so I don’t think I’d make it with spicy sausage but I’d give it a go with something more mild. I like the idea of serving it with pasta.
Even the name of the dish sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing that amazing looking meal
This looks amazing! I love spicy dishes too so I must give this recipe a try!
I am not a spicy girl but my husband would love this! Ragu is my preferred pasta sauces!
I love Italian sausage and the fresh veggies probably make the whole dish super tasty. Love when you can save time and do semi-homemade with some prepared ingredients. 🙂
Yum-O! I love quick and easy meals. As a working mom, I need things that I can throw together quick. I like the options of putting it on rice/pasta/bread. That makes it so easy to just see what you have on hand! Love it. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Can’t wait to try this. I love finding easy to make recipes that I can add into the rotation!
That looks delicious. I love to combine Ragu with fresh veggies. It’s always so flavorful and satisfying.
Another delicious gluten-free recipe! Thanks for sharing with us!
Sounds good. I would love to try it with chicken sausage.
Oh my how delicious this would be perfect on any pasta dish.
This looks like an easy dish to prepare that would appeal to everyone at my dining room table! This time of year I’m still searching out warm, comfort food type meals like this! Thanks for sharing!
Two of my favourite things in this recipe: delicious ingredients and budget friendly 🙂 Great recipe.
This looks amazing. We have another cold snap coming this week and I think I will make this!
Sounds tasty, and it’s gluten free! I think even my hubs would like this because he loves spicey things.
Wonderful dish! i am always looking for new gluten free recipes and this looks like a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! I love sausage and peppers!! I should make it this week when we have a snowstorm
I’ve been doing a lot of gluten free meals recently since my son’s had rashes on his face.He loves pasta though or anything with tomatoes. This looks like a great recipe that he would most definitely love and he’s such a picky eater.
That definitely looks full of flavor. I am inspired – going to have to make this one night for dinner.
I live in gluten-free city. Everyone here is gluten-free. Looks like a great meal!
Love Ragu, but I didn’t know it was gluten free?!!? Sending this to a friend who just started eating gluten free, she’s going to love this recipe. Thanks!
I’ve eaten Ragu since I was a kid and have always loved their products. The garlic ones are the best – we even add additional garlic to it when warming it up!
This sounds amazing! I think I’m going to try it out on my menu next week!
I’m going to make it this week! I’m pinning!
It’s great that you can make this gluten-free, and I’m going to share this with a couple of friends who have been looking for more recipes like that.
It’s been a long time since I have had sausages and peppers. I’m adding this recipe to next weeks meal plan because your pictures are making my mouth water!!!!!
That looks so good, I will try it as a stuffed pepper. For some strange reason my husband will not eat things like that unless it is actually a stuffed pepper – go figure!
I love how quick and easy this recipe is. We love Ragu sauces because they are convenient and taste really good. I’m going to try this recipe later this week.
Wow–that sounds so yummy! I think the rice would be a great alternative too! Thanks for giving us fresh ideas for the kitchen! Sharing right now! l
I love all kinds of Italian food, but I’ve never really thought about making a gluten free Italian dish! This looks so good! I want to win that sweepstakes for a trip to Italy! LOL!
We choose rice quite often because my daughter is gluten intolerant. It’s a great alternative.
My Hubs would love this, but he would make me use the Hot sausage. You know how those Italians like their hot and spicy foods. This looks like such an easy meal to prepare. I am always looking for easy!
This looks incredible! I have made something similar but over penne pasta. I love rice so this would be a great alternative!
This is certainly a dish that I used to eat a lot of as a kid! I am not a big sausage fun, but I would certainly give this a whirl.
Mmm. I like spicy sausage, and I think everyone in my family would love this recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
This is very similar to a dish my mother used to make when I was growing up and it was SO good. Yours sounds amazing and I bet it is as good as it looks.
