Directions

Place sausages in a large skillet; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°; drain well.

Meanwhile, in a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the spaghetti sauce, water, tomato paste, pepper, onion, cheese and parsley. Add sausages. Cover and cook on low 4-5 hours or until vegetables are tender. Serve in buns. Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.
