Lasagna Soup

My hubby has a fit over this soup. He says it's his favorite. He claims the Hearty Italian Sausage Soup I make, as his favorite, too. I think he just likes anything with sausage. In fact, I know he does.

1/2 lb. ground mild Italian sausage
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. red pepper, chopped
1 T. dried onion
2 t. minced garlic
1 t. thyme
1/4 t. basil
1/4 t. oregano

1/4 t. rosemary

1 T. brown sugar

2 (14.5 oz.) cans petite diced tomatoes (I used 2 pints of my own stewed tomatoes)

2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce

3 c. water

3 chicken bouillon cubes

2 1/2 c. campanelle noodles

Mozzarella cheese, grated

 

Cook sausage and hamburger until brown. Drain grease. Add meat to the crock pot.

Next add the green and red pepper, onion, and all the seasonings, brown sugar, tomatoes, sauce, water and bouillon into the crock pot.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours.

Then add the uncooked noodles. Cook for 30-40 more minutes, until noodles are cooked.

Serve with mozzarella on top.

 

I put a Slow Cooker Liner in my crock before cooking this. Love! Makes clean-up a snap.

Campanelle noodles look like little lasagna noodles.
