Sausage and Peppers
Another Italian staple… if you don’t have the time to finish the recipe in a crock pot, be sure you use a pan that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients. After the onions, garlic, and green pepper are cooked, add the sausage, tomatoes and oregano to the pan and cook on low, making sure to stir occasionally so that things don’t burn. Don’t eat pork? See if your grocery store makes a chicken- or turkey-based Italian sausage.
