Italian Sausage Slow Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Place sausage in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray; top with onions, steak sauce and crushed pepper. Cover with lid.
• Cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours (or on HIGH 5 hours).
• Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook, covered, 20 min. or until rice is tender.

Steps:

• Place the Italian sausage links, spaghetti sauce, green pepper and onion into a slow cooker. Stir to coat everything in sauce.
• Cover, and cook on Low for 6 hours. Serve on hoagie rolls.

Steps:

• Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker with butter.
• Toss the stale French bread, butter, onions, carrots, celery, thyme and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the bread mixture and toss to coat. Use your hands to tear teaspoon-size pieces of the Italian sausage and put them directly on top of the bread mixture. The sausage should cover most of the stuffing.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 4 hours. Remove the lid and gently stir the sausage into the stuffing. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Transfer to a shallow serving dish and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cut sausage into 4 or 5" pieces and brown on all sides in batches in skillet. Saute peppers, onions, and garlic in drippings. Combine tomato puree, sauce, and paste in bowl. Add seasonings and sugar. Layer half of sausage, onions, and peppers in 6qt cooker. Cover with half the tomato mixture. Repeat layers. Cover. Cook on high 1 hour and low 5-6 hours. Serve over pasta or Italian rolls. AWESOME!

Steps:

• Spread the onions over the bottom of a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker and top with the carrots, garlic, white beans, thyme bundle and sausage links. Mix the diced tomatoes with the broth and 3 cups water and pour over the sausages. Add the Parmesan rind if using.
• Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours; the beans will be tender and begin to fall apart. Uncover the slow cooker, remove and discard the thyme bundle and Parmesan rind and transfer the sausage links to a cutting board. Stir the pasta into the stew and continue to cook, covered, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Cut the sausages into bite-size pieces and stir into the stew along with the parsley and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan on the side for sprinkling on top and crusty bread for soaking up the broth.
• Cook's Note: This stew is also a great way to use up leftover cooked pasta. Simply omit the ditalini, reduce the water by 1 cup and stir 1 cup of cooked pasta (cut up if long noodles) into the finished stew along with the sausage pieces.

Steps:

• 1. Brown Susage, Onion, & Garlic, drain.
• 2. In slow cooker add: Everything except orzo and Parmesan.
• 3. Cook on Low for 8 hrs or on High for 4 hours.
• 4. Set pot to high and add Orzo for 20 minute.
• 5. Serve with Parmesan Cheese in top.

Steps:

• Remove and discard casings from sausage links. Break sausage into small chunks; place in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Add peppers, beef broth, pasta sauce and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Remove excess air from bag, then seal bag tightly. Freeze up to 3 months.
• Thaw soup overnight in refrigerator. Empty contents of bag into slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray; cover with lid. Cook on LOW 4 to 5 hours (or on HIGH 2 to 3 hours).
• Mix flour and water until blended. Add to soup; mix well. Cook on HIGH 15 min. or until slightly thickened.
• Serve soup topped with shredded cheese, parsley and remaining Parmesan.
