Ingredients
•
3 large red potatoes, cubed
•
1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth
•
2 (16 ounce) cans sweet cream-style corn
•
1 (16 ounce) can whole-kernel corn, drained
•
1 cup half-and-half
•
1/2 cup salted butter, cut into small pieces
•
2 red bell peppers, chopped
•
1 large onion, chopped
•
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
•
1 pound bulk hot Italian sausage

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
1
Combine potatoes, chicken broth, cream-style corn, whole-kernel corn, half-and-half, butter, bell peppers, onion, and black pepper in a slow cooker set to Low.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet, breaking it up with a spoon into small pieces, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove cooked sausage to a bowl, draining as much fat as possible. Sprinkle sausage with flour and toss to coat. Add sausage to the slow cooker.
3
Cover and cook on Low, stirring regularly, until vegetables are tender, about 4 hours.
