Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Italian sausage links
  • 1 each red, orange, yellow and green pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara or your favorite tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
  • Grated Parmesan or thin slices of Provolone cheese
  • Hoagie, sub or sausage rolls

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage according to package directions. Remove from skillet and set aside. Discard any grease.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté peppers, onion and garlic in olive oil until just crisp. Add the tomato sauce, red pepper flakes and the cooked sausage links. Heat until sauce just starts to bubble and then transfer to the slow-cooker. Cook on low until the peppers are just tender. Switch the dial to the "warm" if your cooker has one. This will keep everything warm but will not overcook the peppers and onions.
  3. Serve on rolls topping with grated Parmesan or thin slices of Provolone cheese.
