Here’s a Quick Video Tutorial!

Perfect Presentation Platters

Crockpot: I used my favorite 6-quart crockpot from Walmart, which is at a great price! It also has a cute 2-quart option for smaller meals and an 8-quart option for larger meals.

Individual Serving Plates: I used the black-and-white checkered plates from MacKenzie Childs, which also come in a blue or pink version! For adorable and more affordable serving plates, I am obsessed with this beautiful coordinating set from Target for a great price!

Serving Platters: I get so much use out of this set of two white porcelain platters, which I absolutely love! You could also go with this faux white marble tray from Walmart that is also a great choice!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can either start this 3-4 hours in advance (if cooking on high) or 7-9 hours in advance (if cooking on low.) That’s why I love crockpot recipes so much – they do all the work while you can go about your day!

Storing Leftover Italian Sausage and Peppers

Place any leftovers in a Tupperware container or Ziploc Bag and store in the refrigerator, where it should stay fresh for about 3 days.

Enjoy!
