Sausage Peppers and Onion Slow Cooker Style

 



Growing up in New York and surrounded by real Italian food, I was taught how to make Sausage, Peppers, and Onion in various ways, oven, stovetop, grill, and yes, Crockpot style too. This recipe is for the crockpot. It’s filled with all the favorite flavors of Juicy Italian sausage gently simmering with marinara, bell peppers, onions, and spices in your trusty crockpot. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal, enjoy it in a hoagie roll or over pasta!

Ingredients 

4 Italian Sausage Links

2 Bell Peppers, I use a mix of red and green, seeded and sliced into strips

1/2 Large White Onion, Sliced into strips

1/2 Cup Marinara Sauce

2 Teaspoons Each, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning

2 Cup Shredded Italian Cheese Blend, 

2 Hoagie rolls

Instructions 

Add the Italian Sausage to the slow cooker.  Top with the bell peppers and onions.  Sprinkle on the salt, garlic, and Italian seasoning.  Pour on the marinara sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

If desired, toast the hoagie rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.  Fill each roll with one sausage, a handful of onions and peppers and the desired amount of sauce.  Top with shredded cheese and broil for 1-2 more minutes until cheese is melted.  Serve immediately. 

Leftovers can either be stored in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container, or this freezes very well.
