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.
