Crockpot Sausage And Peppers

I love this Crockpot Sausage and Peppers dish! Sausage and peppers are one of my favorites and come out awesome in the crockpot!

 

I think every Italian family makes this dish, with slight variations of course, within their own family traditions.

Great on Italian rolls or over a sturdy pasta. Always a treat!

You can add the peppers halfway through the cooking time so they don’t get too mushy.

  1. Boil the veggies in a pot just until tender, slightly firm.
  2. In a separate pot, boil the noodles 3 or 4 minutes, and drain the water out.
  3. In a skillet, heat the oil over med-high heat and add the noodles. As they are sizzling, open only one packet of the seasoning provided in the Top Ramen packet, and sprinkle over the noodles ( using both seasoning packs will make it too salty).
  4. Stir the noodles occasionally allowing them to brown and crisp up a little. Add the veggies and meat, and drizzle lightly with soy sauce. Cook a few more minutes until the veggies are tender and the noodles are seasoned and cooked well.
