Ingredients

• 4 pieces Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large Red bell peppers, sliced
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 2 15-ounce cans Cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 14.5-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and sear on all sides until browned (about 5 minutes). Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Slice the browned sausage links into 1-inch thick pieces and transfer them to your crockpot.

Step 4

Add the cooked onion and garlic mixture to the crockpot, followed by the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, drained cannellini beans, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), dried oregano, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Stir gently to combine all ingredients in the crockpot.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the sausage is fully cooked through and the flavors are well combined.

Step 7

Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
