Easy Crockpot Menu – Italian Link Sausages

Tips:

• You can use your potato peeler on other fruits like apples and pears.
• Cut up leftover raw vegetables like carrots, celery and cauliflower and store in leftover pickle juice. It will keep for several weeks in the fridge.
• For a yummy and different flavor, spread your hamburgers with a cream cheese based dip.

This is a menu from our new Easy Crockpot Recipes and Menus e-book. Make some extra and you can have 2 meals in one. If you make extra, you can serve it one night over rice or noodles and another night on hoagie buns or crusty Italian buns. You can also use frozen green and red peppers to make it even faster.

Recipes:

Saucy Italian Link Sausages

8 (4 oz.) links fresh Italian sausage
26 oz. Marinara sauce
1-2 green, red or yellow bell peppers, seeded and sliced into strips
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves of garlic

Brown sausage to avoid a bunch of grease. Place everything in a slow cooker. Stir to coat everything in sauce. Cover, and cook on low for 6 hours. Serve on hoagie rolls, or over rice.

Note: You can saute the veggies in olive oil if you want. If you prefer the veggies more crisp, you can add them in the last hour of cooking.

To Serve: Sprinkle with Parmesan, Romano or Mozzarella cheese.

Greek Salad

5 cups salad greens
1/2 sliced cucumber
1 tomato, cut into bite sized pieces
2 Tbsp. sliced ripe olives

Combine everything. Serve with feta cheese, blue cheese dressing or your favorite dressing.
