A delightful dish of Italian sausage and sweet bell peppers, slow-cooked to perfection for a comforting family meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Italian sausage links
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Salt, as needed
  • Black pepper, as needed
  • 1 tsp Italian herb blend
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Slice the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Set them aside for easy assembly.
  2. Layer the vegetables: In your crockpot, layer the sliced green, red, and yellow bell peppers along with the sliced onion at the bottom.
  3. Add the sausage: Place the Italian sausage links on top of the vegetables.
  4. Season and add marinara: Sprinkle the garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian herb blend, and optional crushed red pepper flakes over the sausage. Pour the marinara sauce evenly over everything.
  5. Cover and cook: Secure the lid on the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 240 to 360 minutes or high for 120 to 180 minutes.
  6. Finish and serve: Once cooked, stir everything together gently and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
