Italian Sausage and Peppers (Low-Carb, Slow Cooker Crock Pot)

From The Everyday Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook by Kitty Broihier & Kimberly Mayone. "This classic combination doesn't get much easier! For crisp vegetables, add the peppers and onions halfway through cooking, being sure to stir them in with the sausages." Can be garnished with a dollop of sour cream. Easy add-in for the dish is mushrooms (7 oz can of sliced, drained mushrooms is recommended).
