Savory Skillet Sausage & Green Bean Medley
A flavorful skillet dish featuring Italian sausage, green beans, and cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1.0 pound Italian sausage
- 1.0 pound fresh green beans
- 1.0 medium onion
- 3.0 cloves garlic
- 1.0 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.0 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.0 teaspoon salt
- 0.0 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.0 leaves fresh basil
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Use a spatula to break it into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. Sauté until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil followed by the sliced onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Toss the trimmed green beans into the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but are still crisp.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and the Italian seasoning. Stir everything together, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Mix everything together and let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir until it melts slightly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a fresh touch. Enjoy your flavorful skillet dish warm!
