What kind of sausage, peppers, and onions should I use for this dish?
You can use any cooked, low carb sausage for this dish. I always check my nutritional labels since carb counts vary depending on how the sausage is prepared and upon added ingredients. For my dish, I used uncured Polish sausage. I used an all-beef sausage with no added sugar. You can use a low carb kielbasa or any cooked beef, chicken, or pork sausage you’d like. You could even use an elk or venison sausage for a nice change of pace. I love combining a couple different colors of bell peppers and I used red and orange peppers for my dish. You can use any color or color combination you’d like. I used a yellow onion, but red onion would work well too.
How do I make the sauce for this keto sausage, peppers, and onion dish?
We combine a few simple, yet delicious, ingredients to create a tasty and low carb sauce. I used petite diced tomatoes because I didn’t want large pieces of tomatoes in the sauce. If you’d prefer, you can use regular diced tomatoes. To our tomatoes, we simply add Italian seasoning, keto granulated sugar, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. I used the Swerve brand for my sugar. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs and it’s delicious. Since my sausage contains a nice amount of salt, I only added a little extra to the sauce. You can always add more salt if you’d like. I love the vibrant color fresh parsley brings to this dish. If you are using dried parsley, you’ll want to add about 4 teaspoons of dried as a substitute for the ¼ cup of fresh parsley.
What can I serve with these keto sausage, peppers, and onions?
This dish makes for a complete and satisfying meal in itself, so you can serve it as is! You could also pair it with a nice keto salad or soup. . How about a keto Caesar salad! For a fun option, you can also add your favorite keto bread, biscuit, or English muffin to this meal. In fact, you could even make a sandwich from this dish. My daughter, Rachael, can attest to that.😉You could also add a side of vegetables to your meal. To make this dish even more filling, you could serve it over some cauliflower rice!
