Italian Sausages & Peppers

Italian Sausages & Peppers pg. 25 (click to go to a printable version)

• 2 lbs Johnsonville Italian sausage Sweet Basil & Hot Sausage links
• 1 green pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 onion, sliced and separated into rings
• 26 oz jar Francesco Rinaldi spaghetti sauce

Layer sausages, pepper and onion in slow cooker.  Pour in sauce; stir to coat ingredients well.  Cover and cook on low setting for 6 hours.  Serves 6.

**My variations on the recipe
1) Instead of green, I used red, orange and yellow peppers. This gave the dish a yummy natural sweet taste.

2) I sliced the onions in strips instead of rings. I felt this would be best to fit on the buns.

3) I didn't layer, I just dumped it all in the crock pot and then covered with sauce.

4) I was running short on time so I cooked it on HIGH for 4 hours. It was perfect.
