In a large skillet set to medium-high, cook sausage until lightly browned. Stir frequently as you cook, about 5 minutes. During last few minutes of cooking, add green pepper and onion. Cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Combine cooked sausage-vegetable mixture and remaining ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours, or until warm throughout.

Enjoy!
