Directions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly oil a shallow oven-safe dish, 8-inch cast iron skillet, or casuela.
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sausage until brown. Add onions and red bell peppers to the pan and cook until the vegetables are soft and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour off excess fat.

Scoop into oven safe dish, place in heated oven, and bake until bubbling and lightly browned on top, about 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, top with favorite toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and/or slice of lime, and serve immediately with tortilla chips or crackers!
