Italian Sausage & Peppers (Slow Cooker)
Italian Sausage & Peppers (Slow Cooker)
This is an easy, and flavorful dish. I used store bought sausage links and I look forward to making this again when I get back home (Thailand) and using my homemade Italian sausage. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 8 Italian sausage links, (about 1 lb 8 oz / 750 g), Shortcut
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 can crushed tomatoes, (28 oz / 793 g)
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- For the sausage, you can chop first or just place whole in the slow cooker and chop when the cooking time is done.
- Add everything to the slow cooker except the sausage and mix together.
- Add the sausage and move them down into the liquid. Cover and set to Low setting for 6 hours. I actually have 10 links in here.
- If you started with whole sausages, remove them to a cutting board, slice, and return them to the pot.
- Serve over pasta or rice or even as is. Enjoy
Notes
I am in the US currently and I bought the sausage at Kroger for about $5.25, the remaining ingredients are minimal. For 6 servings, this is about 88 cents per serving. When I return to Thailand, I will make the sausage myself and maybe get the cost down to about 50 cents per serving.
