Crockpot Sausage, Peppers & Onions

It's crockpot time again!  Can't get enough of these easy dishes that make my life on office days a lot more simple.

I've made this several times before and although it goes against all things crockpotting, I have to say...don't skip the browning the meat step.  It makes the meal MUCH better.  It only takes about 10 minutes, and this time around I actually did it the day before.  Easy!

We ate this two nights in a row...sandwiches the first night, over pasta the second night.  Like I said...easy!  And of course, delicious.

Crockpot Sausage, Peppers & Onions
3 pounds Italian sausage, cut into 1" chunks
3 bell peppers, cut into strips
2 large yellow onions, sliced
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 cup dry white wine

Heat a little oil in a skillet and add sausage.  Cook until brown on all sides, then add to crockpot along with the rest of the ingredients.  Cook on low for approximately 4 hours.  Serve on bread or over pasta.
