With Christmas behind us and a cold winter in front of us, I am all about the one-skillet meals right about now. Around the holidays, I am always cooking up a storm and once they are over. All that planning and preparation for a holiday feast really takes it out of you! This sausage and peppers skillet is the ultimate one-skillet meal that will warm everyone’s belly throughout the winter. It’s such a simple, straightforward meal that requires little time and only dirties one dish (who wants to do any more dishes at this point, right?!). You will find yourself pulling out this recipe again and again during the cold months ahead. It’ll become a new family favorite!

INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add whole sausages to the pan and brown on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage links, cut into thick slices, and set aside.

Add sliced peppers and onion to the skillet with oregano, basil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until the vegetables begin to brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes with their juices, red pepper flakes, red wine and sliced sausage to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over low heat for approximately 10-15 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by one third.

Top the skillet with the 8 large raw biscuits and place the skillet on the center rack of the oven. Cook at 350 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown. Serve immediately.
