- Pour the tomato mixture over the sausages and peppers in the crockpot.
- Stir the ingredients in the crockpot gently to ensure the sausages and peppers are coated with the tomato mixture.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Alternatively, you can cook it on high heat for 2 hours if you’re in a hurry.
- Once done, give the Crockpot Sausage and Peppers a final stir to combine all the flavors.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
