Italian sausage makes a great base for lasagna because the meat is already seasoned with all your favorite spices. We chose sweet Italian sausage as the most family-friendly option, but spicy Italian sausage would be a great choice for those who love the heat. This recipe can easily be doubled, just divide between the fillings between two Suvie pans instead of one. You could even make two and freeze one for later!
Note: if you would like to schedule your cook and do not want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, you can saute the sausage, peppers, onions, and vegetable oil in a large skillet for about 10 minutes over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables have softened.
