How to Clean and Slice Mushrooms
Most of my family loves when I added mushrooms to this vegetable mix. Here are some helpful tips on cleaning and slice mushrooms for this recipe.
To prepare your mushrooms, make sure that you do not soak them in water. You want to gently wipe them down to clean off any dirt. If mushrooms retain to much water the can become mushy.
- Slicing Whole Mushrooms – We recommend before slicing large mushrooms to wipe them down with a damp paper towel. You can wash them with water, but make sure you dry them before slicing.
- Sliced Mushrooms – If you are cooking with sliced mushrooms, you can rinse them a colander but do not let them soak. Let the mushrooms dry on a paper towel.
Serving Suggestions for Sausage and Peppers
These sausage and peppers are the perfect meal just served by themselves. If you are following a low carb diet, then I would serve as is.

- Rice – Make some white rice and serve with peppers and sausage.
