Crock Pot Sausage & Peppers

I usually make sausage and peppers on top of
the stove, but sometimes I like to assemble
everything late morning when I have the time
and l know I will be out or busy most of the day.
It's nice not to have to fuss with dinner when 
I arrive home late or tired. I let this 
 slow cook all day and then I just need to boil
the pasta when it's time for dinner while I unwind
 and enjoy a glass of red wine. 
To the crock pot add: the sausage and peppers cut
into bite-size pieces, the chopped onion and garlic,
the seasonings. Add the spaghetti sauce.
 Add a little wine to the jar and swish around.
 Add to the pot and stir it all to combine.
 tip: I love to reuse these Mason jars. HERE, HERE.
 Combine all the ingredients, cover and cook
on low for 6-7 hours. Cook your 1/2 box penne
and stir into the pot before serving.
Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
Easy!

Crock Pot Sausage & Peppers
  with Penne

3/4- 1lb hot Italian sausage cut into pieces
1 large green pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed or chopped
1 t Italian seasoning
(1/4 t red papper flakes only 
if using mild sausage)
Pasta sauce, 24-26oz jar 
(they keep changing the size!)
1/2C red wine
~~~~~~~~
Combine all ingredients, adding the wine to the
 empty pasta sauce  jar to swish out all the 
sauce before adding. Cover and cook on low for
 7 hours. Before serving add, 
 8oz cooked penne to the pot and stir
 to combine. serve with parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
