This Slow Cooker Sausage Stew has Italian Sausage, tomatoes, cauliflower rice, and kale, and it’s a tasty dinner with Italian flavors! See the link below if you prefer to make the original version with Cannellini beans.

Many readers know that I started my carb-conscious eating journey with the original South Beach Diet. Back then I ate a lot of dried beans, but for years now I’ve been creating lower-carb versions for earlier recipes that had beans. And this Slow Cooker Sausage Stew is an easy recipe with some of my favorite flavors, and I’ve updated it to be lower in carbs. 

This new slow cooker stew with Italian sausage uses cauliflower rice to replace the Cannellini beans in the original version of the recipe. (If you were a fan of that one, you can still find it by using the link.) I tested the new version with my assistant Kara, and we both loved it. And my neighbor John came over to be a taste tester, and he also pronounced it delicious!

One thing I love in this slow cooker stew is adding chopped kale to the slow cooker after the sausage, broth, tomatoes, spices, and cauliflower rice have cooked for a few hours. The raw kale softens perfectly in the last hour of cooking time. Or cook it a little bit longer if you want even softer kale. And the kale is one of my favorite parts of this dish!

I know my site has a lot of recipes that use Italian sausage, and I never get tired of it. If you’re also a sausage fan who likes the slow cooker, I hope you give this a try. And personally I’d always eat this kind of stew with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on at the table!
