This version of crock pot sausage and peppers is without a tomato sauce to cut down on the carbs.
I also make this version without browning the sausage. I find that browning the sausages makes them tough. Also, it just dirties up another pan!
WHAT GOES WELL WITH CROCKPOT SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS?
I would pair this recipe with my Low Carb Tortilla Chips, Parmesan Zucchini and Corn Skillet, 90 Second Bread, or Cauliflower Mac and Cheese.
To get started with this easy low carb dinner, I first sliced my bell peppers into thin slices. I used 2 red and one orange bell pepper. I also cut my onion into thin slices.
I then put all of the onion and peppers in the crock pot, seasoned them with salt and pepper, and mixed it all up.
Next I layered the sausage on top. I used regular bratwurst for the crock pot sausage and peppers recipe, but you can use any type of uncooked sausage links you like.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COOK SAUSAGE IN A CROCK POT?
These sausages took about 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high to cook through in the crock pot. If your sausages are frozen, you would need to add 30 minutes to the cook time.
When they were finished, they looked like this!

Hi Jennifer,
I have hot Italian venison sausage to use. Have you ever tried? Just wondering. My husband loves sausage and peppers but can't find a good recipe for it.
Jennifer Banz says
I haven't tried it but I bet it would be delicious!
Connie Heishman says
What makes the liquid. I see no liquid to cook in
jenniferbanz says
It's the juices from the sausage and peppers
Lou Darrah says
I doubled the recipe because my son-in-law eats a lot 😀. After this had been in the fridge overnight the sausage really absorbed the peppers flavors. Delicious 😋
Amanda Emmons says

Could you - or what's a con - of making this in an Instant Pot? Do you know about how long?

You could but I have never cooked it that way so I am not certain on a time. I would start with 10 minutes
