Ingredients for Crockpot Italian Sausages, Peppers and Onions:

• Spray Olive Oil
• 6 Italian Sausage
• 1/2 cup Water
• 2 cups Marinara Sauce 
• 1 Large Onion 
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 3 to 4 Bell Peppers
• 1/2 teaspoon Basil

How to Make Easy CrockPot Italian Sausages, Peppers, and Onions:

1. Parboil the Sausages:

Start by parboiling your uncooked sausages in 1/2 cup of water. This begins the cooking process, ensuring the sausages are fully cooked when slow-cooked.

2. Prep the Veggies:

Slice your sweet onion and bell peppers. I like to use a mix of green and yellow bell peppers for extra color. Mince the garlic – and if you love garlic, feel free to add a little more!

3. Layer the Ingredients in the CrockPot

Spray a little olive oil inside the CrockPot to prevent sticking. Pour in your marinara sauce, then add the basil, oregano, and minced garlic.

4. Add the Veggies:

Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers, making sure they are coated in the marinara sauce.

5. Add the Sausages:

Place the parboiled sausages on top of the veggies, giving everything a good toss to mix the flavors.

6. Set the Cooking Time:

Set your CrockPot to low for 5-6 hours or high for 4 hours. The slow cooker will handle the rest while you go about your day.
