Spicy Sausage, Peppers and Onions (Crock Pot) image

Spicy sausage, pepper and onions. Takes very little prep time and is great for potlucks. Inexpensive and makes alot. Very delicious kids and adults both liked it is very filling. I first took it to a church game night that was just supposed to be snack food but knew I would want something a little more filling than chips had several requests for the recipe. Which made me have to think because when I first made it I used what I had in the house. This is what I remember using. I used Bar-S brand polish sausage which is just a cheap sausage a pack of 3 lbs is about $4 ( found in with the hot dogs in the refrigerated section lunch meats and stuff). Could be used as an entree ( just serve it on a whole bun) snack or starter for a party I think.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 6h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs Italian turkey sausage
2 yellow onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, minced
14 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
6 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine or 1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook turkey sausage in heavy skillet over medium heat until browned, turning occasionally.
  • Layer half of the onions on bottom of 3-4 quart crockpot, then add half of the peppers.
  • Add all of the browned turkey sausage, then the rest of the onions and peppers.
  • Add bay leaves and other spices.
  • Combine diced undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine in small bowl and mix well to blend.
  • Pour over mixture in crockpot.
  • Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a high-quality sausage that is flavorful and well-seasoned. Italian sausage, kielbasa, or bratwurst are all good options.
  • Slice the peppers evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the peppers are different sizes, cut them into pieces that are roughly the same size.
  • Don't overcrowd the crock pot: If you have a lot of sausage and peppers, cook them in batches. Overcrowding the crock pot will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Cook on low for best results: Low and slow cooking will help the sausage and peppers develop the best flavor. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Add some liquid: A little bit of liquid will help to prevent the sausage and peppers from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even tomato sauce.
  • Season to taste: Once the sausage and peppers are cooked, taste them and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or other spices.

Conclusion:

Crock Pot Sausage and Peppers is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great meal to prepare for a party or potluck.
