This Ninja kitchen is my absolute favorite. The good thing about this slow cooker is the stove function that allows you to brown the meat in the same slow cooker for recipes that require it.

It comes in handy just cleaning a tray and the removable insert is non-stick so trust me it’s very easy to clean up afterwards.

Also, I also have this crockpot and I really like it.

My favorite feature is that you can close the lid. I use this slow cooker when I bring food to a party or a lucky event. There are several others for sale here.

Another favorite is this programmable cooker for when I’m not at home all day. I love coming home with a good meal ready and waiting!

I also like to use clay pot liners to make cleaning very easy. It is worth every penny and saves a lot of time during cleaning.

How are Italian sausages and chorizos made?

This recipe is so simple, first cut the vegetables. Then you toss all the ingredients into your favorite clay pot. These steps will take less than 30 minutes!

You can even save moving time on these steps if you already have chopped peppers and onions in your freezer! Freezing chopped onions and peppers saves me tons of time in the kitchen.

How long to cook sausages in a clay pot?

Cover and simmer for 8 hours or you can cook on high heat for 4 hours.

After this cooking time, serve them in buns or serve over pasta or rice to allow it to absorb the delicious sauce. Enjoy!

Can you put raw sausages in a slow cooker?

Yes, definitely! Cooking sausages in the pot is very easy. I love to cook them this way.

You do not need to brown the sausages before putting them in your crockpot. Just toss them with the other ingredients and I promise it will taste amazing.

Can I put frozen sausages in a slow cooker?

Again yes! You can put the sausages in the frozen clay pot and then cook them for 8 hours on low heat. This works great and you no longer have to worry about defrosting anything for dinner. Hurrah!

What easy substitutions can you make for this recipe?

This recipe is so versatile that there are tons of toggles you can make to work for your family.

What if you don’t have tomato sauce? Don’t worry, you can easily make sausages and crockpot peppers with crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes with green chilies. Either one will taste great in this simple recipe!

If your family doesn’t like tomatoes, you can make sausages and bell peppers without a pot. I’d duplicate the chicken broth so it doesn’t dry out and just leave the tomato sauce out of the slow cooker.

This will also make less sauce so you can have sausages and bell peppers without a pot if you prefer it this way.

Plus, you can make slow cooker sausages, bell peppers, onions, and potatoes. Just put your favorite type of potatoes underneath the sausages in your pot before cook time.

I love making sausages and clay pot potatoes as it is a one-pot meal, which means fewer dishes after dinner. 

You can also create slow cooker sausages, bell peppers, onions, and beer. Just throw in your favorite beer can instead of the chicken broth. Beer adds a unique flavor and makes the meat very tender. Tasty!

If you prefer your peppers and onions to be crispier, I recommend cooking the sausage in the pot and sautéing the peppers and onions in a large skillet with olive oil.

There are many options to alter this recipe to ensure everyone in your family loves it!

Can you freeze this Italian sausage and pepper recipe?

I have a large family, so I cook a lot frozen to make sure I can have dinner at the table every night. This recipe can easily be turned into a frozen meal so we can save even more time in the kitchen.

If you like cooking in the freezer as much as I do, I encourage you to visit our Lazy Day Cooking Club. This club is a freezer cooking meal plan that gives you great recipes, instructions on how to freeze, and all the ingredients you need to get great clay pot recipes.
