Add the vegetables (-garlic) and cook 5 minutes, add the sausage and cook another 5 minutes before adding all the the slow cooker along with the beans and the remainder of the ingredients (-bay leaf).

Tips

No special items needed.

This was a nice slow cooker recipe. My sweet Italian sausage links got substituted with ground hot Italian sausage at my grocery pick-up, so I just rolled that ground sausage into little balls and followed the recipe as directed. It was great, albeit a little spicier than the recipe intended. The kids scooped the sausage and beans over rice and had seconds.
