Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 orange bell pepper (thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Heat a high-sided saut¿ pan with olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage to a plate.
