Slow Cooker Chicken Sausage and Peppers

Scott's Meal Deal for the week of June 8, 2021 to June 14, 2021

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 lbs fresh Karns Italian chicken and cheese sausage

3 bell peppers, sliced

1 large yellow onion, sliced

1 (15 oz) can Italian style diced tomatoes, slightly drained

1 (8 oz ) can tomato sauce

1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning

1 Tbsp. pesto

1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

For easy clean-up, use a slow cooker liner.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken sausage and cook on each side until browned, about 4-5 minutes total. Chicken sausage does not need to be cooked through. Set aside.

Place sliced peppers, onions, tomatoes, sauce, seasoning, pesto and vinegar in slow cooker. Gently stir to combine. Add your sausages to top of vegetable and sauce mixture. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
