Spicy Sausage, Peppers and Onions (Crock Pot)

awmeme's Note:

Spicy sausage, pepper and onions. Takes very little prep time and is great for potlucks. Inexpensive and makes alot. Very delicious kids and adults both liked it is very filling. I first took it to a church game night that was just supposed to be snack food but knew I would want something a little more filling than chips had several requests for the recipe. Which made me have to think because when I first made it I used what I had in the house. This is what I remember using. I used Bar-S brand polish sausage which is just a cheap sausage a pack of 3 lbs is about $4 ( found in with the hot dogs in the refrigerated section lunch meats and stuff). Could be used as an entree ( just serve it on a whole bun) snack or starter for a party I think.

I did 4 hours on high in the crock pot. Prior review is correct - a little much for the pepper and onion. Just miss the brown color they usually get when I make them in the oven. However, a great alternative to making it all stove top! -
