Crockpot Italian Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches

Happy August, Shabby Creek friends! It’s me, Claire, from A Little CLAIREification, back with another slow cooker favorite.  This one is so easy you won’t believe it which is perfect as Back To School time draws near.

Crockpot Italian Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches - perfect for busy days!

If there is one thing my Husband loves, it is Crockpot Italian Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches.  He works hard and is always cooking up delicious food that I love so it’s nice to surprise him with one of his favorites every now and then.

I can toss all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and tell him not to peek or surprise him when he gets home from work.

Since the Hubs is 100% Italian American (yep, and he still married an Irish lass), it’s no wonder he has such an affection for dishes that have so much robust flavor like this one.  The sausages & peppers are also excellent served over a little pasta too if you’d prefer.

 Now, I am a cheese FREAK so I like to add cheese on the bread, then the sausage and sauce and top with more cheese.  You can see how deliciously melty and gooey it is.  I also add more banana peppers to mine but of course that is optional.

So here’s to another easy crock pot meal that I hope you will all enjoy and I will see you again in September!  Enjoy the rest of your Summer in the meanwhile!

      Oh my goodness, Elsa. Girl, get yourself a slow cooker! πŸ™‚ In the meanwhile, you could use a sauce pot on the stove top to cook and simmer the sausages. Good luck!
