Savor the Simplicity: Slow Cooker Sausage and Peppers Delight

Learn how to make delicious Slow Cooker Sausage and Peppers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Ready to gather your ingredients? Here’s what you’ll need to create this comforting dish:

  • 1 lb Italian sausage links (mild or spicy, your choice!)
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green for a pop of color), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional for extra moisture)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t fret! You can easily swap out bell peppers for whatever color you have on hand, and if you’re out of fresh garlic, a teaspoon of garlic powder will do in a pinch.

Instructions

Alright, time to bring this dish to life! Follow these steps, and you’ll be serving up bowls of comfort in no time:

  1. Start by browning the sausages in a skillet over medium heat. This step isn’t strictly necessary, but it adds a beautiful depth of flavor. Cook them just until the outside is nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. While the sausages are browning, layer the sliced peppers and onions in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. Add the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker. Give it a quick stir to combine.
  4. Place the browned sausages on top of the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in the chicken broth if you’re using it.
  5. Set your slow cooker to low and let it work its magic for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until the sausages are cooked through and the peppers are tender.
  6. Before serving, give everything a gentle stir and garnish with fresh basil for an extra touch of flavor.

And there you have it—a meal that’s as easy to make as it is to enjoy. My mom would be proud of how much flavor comes from such simple ingredients!
