4 sweet or hot Italian sausage links (uncooked), butterflied
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
seasoned salt and pepper
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees then line a baking sheet with foil, spray with nonstick spray, and set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick spray then add sausages cut side down and sear until golden brown, 5 minutes. Flip then sear for 1 more minute. Transfer sausages to prepared baking sheet then set aside. Turn heat down to a touch above medium then add oil. Once hot, add bell peppers and onion, season with salt and pepper, then saute until vegetables begin to soften and get a little bit of color, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms then saute until all the vegetables are tender, adding more seasoned salt and pepper after the mushrooms release their liquid. When the vegetables have a few minutes left, add garlic then saute until very fragrant. Add balsamic vinegar then stir to combine. Scoop vegetables on top of seared sausages then sprinkle cheese on top. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is fully melted then serve.
