For a deeper flavor, consider browning the sausages in the oven before adding them to the skillet. Feel free to adjust the ratio of sweet to hot sausage based on your preference. Add a splash of heavy cream at the end for an extra creamy sauce. This dish is excellent served with a side of crusty bread for soaking up the sauce. To save time, you can use pre-cut bell peppers and onions.
