Slow Cooker Sausage and Peppers

from BHG Special Interest Publication Tailgating

These are super messy, cozy, down home kind of sandwiches made for big appetites. Have some napkins ready and enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbs olive oil
• 1 lbs bulk ground sweet sausage
• 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 2 15oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
• 1 8oz can tomato sauce
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• sliced provolone or mozzarella
• Fresh rolls

Preparation:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausage and ground beef, breaking into bite sized portions as it cooks. Transfer to a large slow cooker. Stir in the roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, onion, and peppers into the slow cooker with the sausage mixture. Cook on low for 5-7 hours.

Toast rolls with a slice of mozzarella on each until golden brown and cheese is starting to melt. Using a slotted spoon, pile sausage and pepper mixture onto rolls.
