To make this dinner recipe, I started by dicing some sweet bell peppers into large chunks.

I also diced some yellow onion.

Then I set my Instant Pot to Saute.

I added some olive oil to the pot as it was heating.

Once the pot was hot, I used a fork to poke some holes in some mild Italian sausages and then placed them in a single layer in the bottom of the pot.

I cooked the sausages until the bottoms were browned.

Then I turned the sausages over to brown the other sides.

Once the sausages were browned on both sides, I removed them from the pot and set them aside on a plate.

I added the diced onions and bell peppers to the pot.

I stirred well and then cooked the onions and peppers for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, I turned of the Instant Pot and poured in some chicken broth.

I stirred well and scraped the bottom of the pot to make sure nothing was sticking to the bottom.

Then I added some marinara sauce to the pot.

I also added some Thai sweet chili sauce to the pot.

I placed the sausages on top.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on High for 6 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I left it to natural release for 12 minutes.

After 12 minutes of natural release, I turned the steam release handle to the venting position to release the remaining pressure.

I removed the sausages from the pot and set them on a cutting board.

I stirred the contents of the pot well.

 

Then I set the Instant Pot to saute.

I dissolved some cornstarch in water.

Once the liquid in the pot started to simmer, I added the cornstarch mixture to the pot.

I stirred well and left the liquid to continue simmering and thickening.

I sliced the cooked sausages on the cutting board.

Once the liquid in the pot was nicely thickened, I turned off the Instant Pot.

I added the sausage slices to the pot and stirred well.

I left the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

I served my sausage and peppers over some rice.

This tasty dish is the perfect weeknight meal.
