Hello! I wanted to share with you one of my family's favorite "go-to" meals.
This is an easy one to make and usually our go-to on weekends when we can't agree on something for dinner but also don't want to spend money on ordering out.
**I do not have a name for this recipe yet! Comment with name suggestions :)**
First I start with 4 cups of water in a pot, with 3 bullion cubes on med-high heat.
I purposely don't add 1 cube per cup as typically suggested on the back of the bullion container as the sausage in this recipe plus broth can be too salty.
While I'm waiting for the broth to boil, I get my sausage and cut it up,
This is the kind of sausage I like to use,
All I do is slice this up and add to a skillet on med-low heat
Next I get out a few peppers,I like using the mini peppers because my girls aren't big fans of peppers so I've found these mini ones are easier to cut super thin and hide (hide... in theory),
They're smaller so there are less seeds which makes it easier to clean out,
I also think these are slightly sweeter than typical bell peppers.
I get terrible heartburn during pregnancy and I've found that for some reason these don't aggravate the heart burn like regular bell peppers. Doesn't make much sense, maybe it's psychological but whatever works!
I know this sounds crazy, 1/2 a box to only 4 cups of broth??!!... TRUST ME!
The noodles will completely cook in this broth without needing drained, just go with it
I've got my peppers sliced nice and thin, and add them to the pan with the sausage, I turn up the heat to medium
Once the sausage starts cooking it begins caramelizing, which makes the bottom of the pan sticky.
I scoop out 1/4 cup of broth from my pot of noodles and add it to the sausage so the sausage doesn't burn and get my pan all messy.
When I stir in the broth I sometimes find I need a little more so I add another 1/4 cup
After about 12 - 15 minutes the noodles will be completely cooked.
As you can see there's still some liquid but not a whole lot,
DO NOT DRAIN the remaining liquid!
Put the noodles into the pan with the sausage and peppers,
Get it all stirred in,
Then I add a splash of milk,
I should have measured but I get into my groove where I end up tossing a little of this or that into a dish and forget to get exact measurements.
When I say a splash of milk I mean a splash, like maybe 1/8 cup.
This is optional, I find it makes the very light (barely there) sauce just a tad creamier.
That's really it! An easy, delicious and filling meal.
Sometimes we add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, If I know we are going to do that I add even less bullion so the dish isn't over salty.
Don't forget to comment with a name suggestion for this yummy recipe!
I understand if you need a few days to go prepare it for yourself to experience the yumminess before suggesting a name ;)
