  1. What kind of peppers are you using? Other than bell peppers, not seeing anything at the grocery store referred to as a sweet pepper. There are chilacas and the typical peppers. I am shopping online so maybe overlooking? What do you rec? Thank you for your help!

    1. You can use any peppers you like but red, yellow and orange bell peppers are by their very essence sweeter than the unripened green bell pepper. Feel free to use whatever you like.

    1. Hi Jackie, I usually spray the onions AND sausages. I don’t drizzle that pan with oil because the sausages tend to release their own juices and with that some fat. There’s no wrong way though so, if you want to drizzle go for it. ☺
