Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1.5 cups Fresh pineapple, diced (or canned pineapple chunks, drained)
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 cups Cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Remove the casings from the sausage (if applicable) and crumble the sausage into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, saute the diced onion and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then remove the skillet from heat.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the sausage mixture evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the diced pineapple over the sausage mixture.
Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the entire dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown on top.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve as-is or over a bed of cooked white or brown rice for a hearty meal.
