Ingredients
- 1 pkg Italian sausages (5), uncooked
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup marinara or pasta sauce (Rao’s recommended)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2-314 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (not pre-shredded)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
- Sear the Italian sausages 2-3 mins on each side until starting to brown.
You aren’t trying to cook them all the way through, you’re just browning the outside a bit which always increases the flavor while slow cooking. - Lay the seared Italian sausages in the bottom of a crock-pot.
- Add the uncooked sliced onions and peppers on top of the sausages.
- Sprinkle the garlic salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning over the top.
- Spread the marinara sauce over the onion and pepper mixture.
- Cook the crock pot sausage and peppers recipe on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours until the peppers are soft and the Italian sausage is cook through.
Enjoy!!
