How to Make Atsa Spicy Pizza Sausage

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb Atsa Italian sausage (removed from casings), 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage mixture to the skillet.
  3. Cook the mixture, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (approximately 15-20 minutes), stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  4. Once browned, drain off any excess grease using a slotted spoon or paper towels.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
