If you follow FoodFash on Instagram, you’re likely to have seen a hot Italian sausage and broccoli appearance at least three {possibly ten} times. It’s two ingredients, super quick to prepare, and really, really inexpensive {like less than 3 bucks per serving cheap}.
I strongly encourage using a high quality sausage that’s seasoned really well since this seasoning will carry over to the entire dish. If you live near a Whole Foods, the bulk hot Italian sausage in their meat department is my favorite.
Quickness and cost aside, I mostly enjoy this recipe because it tastes pepperoni-esque and encourages the consumption of a lot, a lot of broccoli. It’s an extra fulfilling, feel good meal – aren’t those the best kind?

The dopeness! I want this!
Could you sub greebeans or bell peppers for broccoli? And can you use any sausage?
I don’t see any problems with subbing green beans or bell peppers! I haven’t tried any other sausage, but if you do, I would make sure it is strongly seasoned or be prepared to add your own seasoning. Best of luck!
Sounds really delicious. I have a challenge with digesting the broccoli but I think I may have something for that other than beano.
You could always try a different veggie as well 🙂
