# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
- The combination of sweet peppers and savory sausage hits every craving
- Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like you spent much longer
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan when browning the sausage or it will steam instead of sear
- The vegetables should still have some bite left not cooked until mushy
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving because smoked paprika varies in intensity
03 -
- Cut all your vegetables before starting cooking because the process moves fast
- Use a large skillet so everything has room to brown properly
