Autumn Stars

 

This dish just says autumn to me. I like to use red, orange and yellow peppers, and let it stew all day. It’s the perfect foil for wet and windy weather.

 

Slow Cooker Sausage and Peppers

 

2 pounds Italian sausage links (You can also use bulk sweet Italian sausage.)

3 bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced

1 large yellow or white onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves minced garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 cups marinara

 

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high 4 hours, or on low 8 hours. Serve with a sturdy pasta, like gemelli or penne. It’s also delicious with roasted potatoes.
