Crockpot Italian Sausage and Peppers

For the most recent Easter party, I was looking for an easier way to make sausage and peppers, always a popular dish with my family. And I like putting the crockpot to work because that usually means less work for me. This version of sausage and peppers is so easy to make because everything is dumped into a crockpot for four hours. Pictured here is my Mom on Easter with her great-grandchildren: Lucas, Eva, and Andrew.

I always prefer using sweet Italian sausage rather than spicy. I usually use green bell peppers, but I had to use red and yellow bell peppers because that is all I had available. For the tomato sauce, I used Trader Joe's roasted garlic tomato sauce. All get combined together for an easy and delicious dish.

Crockpot Italian Sausage and Peppers

• 3 bell peppers, sliced
• 2-3 pounds Italian sausage
• 24 ounces tomato sauce

Add peppers, sausage, and tomato sauce to the crockpot. Cover. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7 hours. Do not uncover during this time. If desired, remove sausage to cut into smaller pieces. Serve on bread or over pasta or on its own. Enjoy!
