1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 red bell pepper (seeded and thinly sliced)
1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

- Transfer to a 2-quart baking pan.
- In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs, garlic, and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
