Flank Steak Stuffed With Sausage, Basil, and Cheese image

For the fall there is nothing like a crock-pot cooking a hearty dish. This recipe is a classic when combined with buttered steamed spinach, oven roasted potatoes, and a full flavored red wine such as Barola, a Rhone, or a California Merlot.
