directions
- In an ungreased skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage. If using fully cooked or smoked sausage, slice and set aside. If using fresh sausage, add the water, cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes until completely cooked through. Uncover and cook a few minutes more. Cool and slice.
- In a clean skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the peppers, onion and garlic, stirring just until tender.
- Transfer to the slow cooker and add the sausage, beans, tomatoes and their juice, and wine. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, or LOW for 6 to 8 hours. Near the end of the cooking time, check the consistency and cook with the lid off to thicken if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.
