ad If you’re forever longing to be the person who “just throws something in the @CrockPot and forgets about it,” then take this recipe as your sign. These juicy sausage, pepper & onion sammies basically cook themselves in fire-roasted tomatoes, balsamic, and garlic until they’re super tender and flavorful. And because I’m me, cheese girl, I topped them with creamy burrata because duhh!
Huge shoutout to my Crock-Pot® 7 quart slow cooker for doing all the heavy lifting while I “worked” (aka chased my children around the house). Seriously—this thing is the MVP of set-it-and-forget-it comfort food and you’re going to love it! #CrockPotBrandPartner
