Giada's classic Italian Sausage and Peppers Sandwich recipe made even simpler, in the slow cooker. These hot Italian sausages are reminiscent of the kind you'll find on street corners in Italy. Our version simmers to perfection in a flavorful mix of peppers, onions, garlic, tomato, a Parm rind, herbs... all... giadzy.com

Slow Cooker Italian Sausage and Peppers

Serves 4 to 6

To a 4 quart slow cooker add the cherry tomatoes, both peppers, onion, olive oil, salt and oregano. Stir together with a wooden spoon to combine. Nestle in the sausages and parmesan rind so everything slightly covered in the pepper mixture. Cover and set the cooker on low for 6 hours.

Before serving, sprinkle with the chopped basil and parmesan cheese if desired.

 

*Serving suggestions: Serve sausages in a hoagie bun topped with the peppers, onions and tomatoes and melted cheese, over polenta or rice, or just as is with a side salad.
