Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I begin by browning the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat. I love the sizzle it makes as it cooks! You’ll want to break it apart with a spatula to ensure it’s evenly cooked. After about 5 to 7 minutes, the sausage should be browned and beautifully fragrant. Drain any excess grease before moving on to the next steps. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
