Let’s talk about our sausage!

You have some great options for the kind of sausage you use for this dish. I recommend reading nutrition labels to check the list of ingredients and the carb count of sausage as they can vary quite a bit. There are some really great sausage options available which contain no added sugar, and which contain zero carbs. You can use a sausage ring or sausage links, but you’ll want to make sure you’re using fully cooked sausage. You can use beef, chicken, pork, or turkey sausage or you can use a sausage which contains a combination of meats. Kielbasa or cooked bratwurst are some other good choices. If you want to add a little heat to this dish, you can use a hot sausage such as hot andouille, Cajun andouille, or hot links.

How do I make this sausage with peppers, onions, and bacon dish?

This is a quick and easy dish to make and only takes about 35 minutes to make. You’ll want to roughly dice your bacon and saute it until it reaches your desired crispness level. Both regular and thick cut bacon work great for this dish. I like to cut up my peppers and onions while the bacon cooks. I like to call this a rustic dish, so I just roughly chop my peppers and onions. After your bacon is done, you’ll remove it to a plate while you cook the rest of the dish. You’ll want to reserve a couple of tablespoons of bacon grease to cook your sausage, peppers, and onions in. It only takes about 10 minutes to get the sausage nicely browned and to get the vegetables softened. Then you’ll add the bacon back to the skillet and saute for another 5 minutes.

I like to serve this dish with a green salad along with all of our favorite salad toppings. You can also serve it with a bowl of keto soup.

To make cauliflower rice, you have a few options. You can buy a head of cauliflower rice and rice it yourself using either a box grater or a food processor. You can also buy fresh riced cauliflower. Another quick and easy option is to use frozen riced cauliflower. Then you can saute your riced cauliflower in butter or olive oil or you can microwave it until it’s tender.
