Ingredients

1 pound Italian turkey sausage links, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided

Directions

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove and keep warm.
Saute mushrooms and red pepper in oil in the same pan until tender. Stir in the brown sugar, chipotle pepper, chili powder, salt and marjoram; cook 1 minute longer.
