Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausages

  • 1 pound hot Italian sausages

  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), sliced

  • 1 (24 ounce) jar pasta sauce

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

Directions

  1. Place the sweet and hot sausages, green and red peppers, onion, and pasta sauce in a slow cooker. Add about 1/2 a jar of water. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 3 to 4 hours.

  2. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm, about 8 minutes. Drain well.

  3. Slice the cooked sausages, then return to the slow cooker. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving the sausage, peppers, and onion over the macaroni.
