Ingredients

  • 4 Italian sausage links

  • 4 Italian or French rolls

Instructions

TO MAKE FRESH

  • Combine sausages, peppers, onion, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes in 4-6 quart slow cooker
  • Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, or until sausage is cooked through and peppers & onions are tender.
  • Place on rolls and top with shredded Mozzarella. Enjoy!

TO MAKE AS A FREEZER MEAL

Notes

Tip: Make a double recipe and serve the leftovers over penne pasta. You may want to add a little extra sauce to the mix. Two meals in one is a win in my book!
