Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving about 1 tbsp of drippings in the skillet.
2
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 5–6 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat.
