GREEK SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Greek Sausage and Peppers image

This Greek sausage and peppers recipe is an old family favorite. My grandmother, mother and I make this every year for Christmas Eve. Just toss all the ingredients in your slow cooker and let the meal cook all day on low. It makes the house smell amazing and is wonderful comfort food for a chilly holiday. You can double the recipe and freeze the other portion for a hot meal in a pinch. -Debbie Vair, Wake Forest, North Carolina

If you can't find Greek sausage, you can substitute Italian sausage. Just be sure to choose a sausage that is not too spicy.
Use a variety of peppers for a more colorful and flavorful dish. Bell peppers, banana peppers, and pepperoncini are all good choices.
Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level of the dish to your liking. If you like spicy food, add more chili flakes or hot peppers. If you prefer a milder dish, omit the chili flakes and use milder peppers.
Serve spetzofai with crusty bread, rice, or pasta. You can also top it with crumbled feta cheese or yogurt for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Spetzofai is a delicious and easy-to-make Greek dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sausage and peppers, and it is also a healthy and flavorful meal. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give spetzofai a try.
