Slow Cooker Italian Sausage Grinders

In a 12-inch skillet cook sausage, sweet pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat until meat is browned; drain off fat.

Transfer meat mixture to a 4- to 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in next six ingredients (through salt). Cover and cook on low 4 hours or high 2 hours.

After toting, keep warm, covered, on warm or low up to 2 hours if desired. Fill rolls with meat mixture and top with cheese.
