02 - 6 medium pork sausage links
03 - 3 large bell peppers, cut into strips
04 - 1 large onion, sliced into half moons
05 - 6 cloves garlic, minced

# Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausages on all sides for about 2 minutes per side. They should not be cooked through.

03 - Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the vegetable mixture. Place the browned sausage links on top.
04 - Cover and cook on Low for 4-5 hours or on High for 2-3 hours, until sausages are fully cooked and vegetables are tender.

02 - Use chicken sausage for a leaner option.
03 - To make it cheesy, add shredded mozzarella in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
