Oh yes, another slow cooker recipe...stuffed peppers!

Yes, that's right.  Pull the slow cooker back out. Do not stuff it into the back of the cabinet.  The slow cooker has to be one of the best inventions.  Why?  Because you throw a bunch of stuff into it, and a delicious meal comes out of it hours later.  Nothing like coming home from work and having dinner ready to go.

I actually just prepped this dish for dinner tomorrow, so I'm hoping it's good since I'm about brag about it to you.  Put a can of crushed tomatoes into the slow cooker (14.5 oz), 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt and pepper.  Then in a mixing bowl add one small chopped onion, one small diced potato, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and 1 cup fresh chopped parsley.  Mix well.  Then, add in 1lb of Italian sausage.  Take the casings off, and mix in with the other ingredients.  Your stuffing is complete.

Then take 4 red peppers.  Make sure they are able to stand up.  If not, then slice the bottoms to make them flat so they can stand.  Cut the tops of the peppers off but keep them handy, and remove the seeds.  Stuff the peppers with the mixture (about 1 cup of stuffing in each pepper), and place in the slow cooker on top of the sauce you already have in there.  Cover each pepper with its respective top and cook on low 5 to 6 hours, or on high 3 to 4 hours.

Make sure to serve your peppers with some of the delicious sauce at the bottom of the crock pot!  Hope you enjoy it!
