Crock Pot Sausage and Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 12 oz. bag pre-cut cabbage slaw
• 2 14 oz. cans diced tomatoes (one can drained, the other can not drained) You can use fresh tomatoes to cut down the sodium.
• 2 sweet sausages cut into small pieces (eraser sized pieces) I use nitrite free pineapple sausage from BJ’s at 140 calories each.
• 2 cups diced onions (I use frozen, pre-chopped)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 cup red wine
• small sprinkle of reduced fat cheddar cheese

Directions

Put all ingredients except for cheese into crock pot and stir thoroughly. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve topped with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. This dish takes 5 minutes to assemble and can be put together the night before. Using all pre-cut ingredients (except the sausage) really cuts down on prep time. Even though it contains sausage, this is dish is more veggie than meat.
