Ingredients

  • 1 (19.76 ounce) package Johnsonville® Mild Italian Sausage (Ground or de-cased links)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, separated
  • 2 (12 ounce) loaves focaccia bread, cut into 1-in. cubes
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
