Description

Sweet and hot Italian sausages are cooked in a slow cooker with red and green bell peppers and sweet onions. Serve over pasta, and you have an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

1 pound sweet Italian sausages
1 pound hot Italian sausages
2 green bell peppers, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), sliced
1 (24 ounce) jar pasta sauce
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

Directions

1 Place the sweet and hot sausages, green and red peppers, onion, and pasta sauce in a slow cooker. Add about 1/2 a jar of water. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 3 to 4 hours.
2 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
3 Slice the cooked sausages, then return to the slow cooker. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving the sausage, peppers, and onion over the macaroni.
