Then, once the sausages have sauteed, remove them and toss in the sliced peppers and onions. Let them cook for about three (3) minutes.

Now, add the minced garlic and let the mixture saute for another thirty (30) seconds.

The sausage links added to the veggies along with tomatoes.

Afterward, turn off the pressure cooker and place the sausage links back into the pot. Put them right on top of the veggies.

With that done, you can pour in the undrained diced tomatoes. Do NOT stir the mixture.

It’s time to place the lid on the cooker and seal the valve. Using the high pressure/manual cook button set the cook time for ten (10) minutes.

Last, when the timer goes off, use a towel to open the valve and complete a quick release. Remove the sausage and stir the veggies.

That’s it, your Instant Pot sausage and peppers are ready to serve! Kim and I hope you enjoy the meal and wish you all the best 🙂

Leftovers stored in your fridge, in a sealed container, are good for up to three (3) days.
