Sausage and Peppers

A fall favorite.

1 1/2 lbs. Italian Sausage (I mix hot and mild)
1 8oz can of tomato sauce
2 large green peppers
2 large red peppers
1 medium onion (sliced)
Water
1/4 tsp. oregano

Heat oven to 375
in a large pan add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Add chopped sausage and onion. Roast for 1.5 hours turning periodically.
Add cut peppers, 1 cup water, tomato sauce and oregano. Stir and cook for another hour.

Crockpot Ham

The Crockpot ham that is world famous (in my world)
Bone in Butt Ham (important - spiral cut is too dry and shank is too greasy)
1 Bottle of Apple Cider (apple juice works)
Whole cloves

Put the ham in the crockpot bone down
FILL the crock pot with apple cider
toss in a handful of cloves

Cook on low all day
It is AMAZING!

Cooked Carrots

Peel and chop carrots into 1" pieces
Place them in a glass pan, in a single layer
cover with chicken broth
add rosemary and thyme to taste
Bake at 400 for 1 - 1.5 hours

Crockpot Potatoes

These are only 3 WW points per serving... not bad!

Peel and slice about 1lb potatoes
put in the crockpot with 2 chopped pieces of garlic
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp. butter
lots of Johnny's seasoning salt

Put on low for 4 hours
