SLOW COOKER ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER STEW

Steps:

Brown sausages whole (I use hot, but mild or sweet will taste just as good!) in pan, and place in single layer on top of potatoes. Saute peppers, onions, and garlic in a little oil in pan about 2 minutes to just soften edges. Deglaze pan with some of the broth to get all that good flavor, and pour evenly over top of the sausages. Sprinkle the tapioca over the pepper mix. Next layer, pour tomatoes with juice evenly on top of peppers. Oregano, salt, and pepper sprinkled, then finish by pouring chicken broth over everything. DO NOT MIX! Leave in layers.
