ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS (LOW-CARB, SLOW COOKER CROCK POT)
From The Everyday Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook by Kitty Broihier & Kimberly Mayone. "This classic combination doesn't get much easier! For crisp vegetables, add the peppers and onions halfway through cooking, being sure to stir them in with the sausages." Can be garnished with a dollop of sour cream. Easy add-in for the dish is mushrooms (7 oz can of sliced, drained mushrooms is recommended).

SPICY SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS (CROCK POT)
Spicy sausage, pepper and onions. Takes very little prep time and is great for potlucks. Inexpensive and makes alot. Very delicious kids and adults both liked it is very filling. I first took it to a church game night that was just supposed to be snack food but knew I would want something a little more filling than chips had several requests for the recipe. Which made me have to think because when I first made it I used what I had in the house. This is what I remember using. I used Bar-S brand polish sausage which is just a cheap sausage a pack of 3 lbs is about $4 ( found in with the hot dogs in the refrigerated section lunch meats and stuff). Could be used as an entree ( just serve it on a whole bun) snack or starter for a party I think.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use any other type of sausage that you like. Just be sure to choose a sausage that is fully cooked, so that it doesn't need to be cooked through in the crock pot.
- Use a variety of peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used in this dish, but you can also use any other type of pepper that you like. Some good options include poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and jalapeño peppers. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on how spicy you want the dish to be.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables are a great way to add flavor and nutrition to this dish. Some good options include onions, garlic, mushrooms, and zucchini. Just be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. You can use a store-bought sauce, or you can make your own. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use a variety of spices to create a flavorful sauce.
- Cook the sausage and peppers on low heat: This will help to ensure that the sausage and peppers cook evenly and that the sauce has time to develop its flavor.

Crock pot sausage and peppers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
