Italian Sausage and Pepper Stew
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced into rounds
- 3 bell peppers, mixed colors, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Brown the sausage slices in a skillet over medium heat until lightly colored on both sides. Drain any excess fat and transfer the sausage to the slow cooker.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth.
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the peppers and onion are tender.
- Stir once more before serving and top each bowl with the chopped parsley.
Notes
Brown the sausage first to build deeper flavor in the finished stew. If the peppers start to soften more than you like during a long potluck hold, stir them in during the final hour of cooking instead. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce. Serve with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
