This Italian-inspired slow-cooker dish is super simple and packed with flavor. Ready to cook in about 15 minutes, you can easily prepare your ingredients in the pot of the slow cooker at night then switch it on before heading out for work the following morning. Hot and ready-to-serve, this stew is terrific over brown rice to soak up the delicious juices. Add a side of wilted spinach for a heartier meal. If you cannot find cubanel or Italian fry peppers at your local supermarket, substitute 3 medium green bell peppers, stemmed, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Add a kick with a spicier turkey sausage.
