Ingredients

• 2 pounds Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)

• 2 bell peppers, sliced
• 1 cup marinara sauce

Equipment Needed

• Slow cooker (4 to 6 quart)
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Tongs or serving spoon

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Begin by peeling the onions and slicing them into thin strips. Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and cut them into strips similar in size to the onions.

Uniform slices help the vegetables cook evenly and create the classic sausage-and-pepper texture.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

Spread half of the sliced onions and peppers across the bottom of the slow cooker.

Arrange the sausage links on top of the vegetables in a single layer whenever possible.

Add the remaining onions and peppers over the sausages.

Pour the marinara sauce evenly over everything.

The sauce helps keep the ingredients moist during cooking while adding a rich tomato flavor.
