- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp dried oregano

Directions
Step 1
Slice the spicy Italian sausage links into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Dice the onion into small pieces and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 5
Transfer the browned sausages and the sautéed vegetables into the crock pot.
Step 6
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the sausages are fully cooked and tender, and the flavors have melded together.
Step 8
Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or hot sauce if desired.
Step 9
Serve the hot and spicy sausages over cooked rice, with crusty bread, or as an appetizer on their own. Enjoy!
