Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1" dice.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  2. 2

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add Italian sausage, onion, and Italian seasoning to hot pan. Break into small pieces until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  3. 3
