Crockpot sausage and peppers

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or hot)
• 3 bell peppers (red, green, and yellow), sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage links on all sides. You don’t need to cook them through, just get some color on them.
2. While the sausage is browning, slice the peppers and onions and mince the garlic.
3. Transfer the browned sausages to the slow cooker. Add the sliced peppers, onions, and minced garlic on top.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the tomato mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the slow cooker.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. Once done, you can serve the sausage and peppers on their own, or with your favorite side dish like rice or pasta.
