Equipment

  • Slow Cooker (at least 6qts)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 White Onion sliced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
  • 1 28oz can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 10 Italian Sausages
  • 10 Crusty Rolls split
  • 20 slices Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start with the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Then layer on red and green bell peppers.
  • Sprinkle veggies with garlic powder, Italian seasonings, and red pepper flakes. Then evenly pour crushed tomatoes over the top.
  • Next, layer in the sausages in a single layer. Secure lid on a slow cooker and cook for 6 hours on low. Every hour or so, give the slow cooker a little jiggle to help the sausages sink down into the sauce some.
  • Split your crusty rolls and place two slices of mozzarella in the fold. Then add a piece of sausage and a portion of peppers and onions. You might want to slice it in half when you serve it.
