Slow-Cooker Paella - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 lb chicken sausage, sliced diagonally (or any other kind of sausage you like)
    1 small onion, finelly chopped
    2 garlic cloves, finelly chopped
    1 red bell pepper, unseeded, cut into strips
    4 cups low sodium chicken broth
    1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    1 (16 ounce) package Spanish rice mix (I used 3 bags because I couldn't find a box)
    4 ounces cooked ham, chopped
    1 cup frozen peas
    salt (if necessary)
Preparation
    Warm 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked sausage to slow-cooker.
    On th same skillet cook onion, garlic and bell pepper, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to slow-cooker.
    Still on the same skillet, add 1 cup chicken broth, turn up the heat to high and bring it to a boil, stirring up browned bits. Pour into slow-cooker.
    Add remaining chicken broth, can diced tomatoes, rice mix and ham to slow-cooker. Add salt if necessary. Stir and cook on low setting until rice is tender, about 4 hours.
    Stir in frozen peas and cook until heated through, about 15 minutes.
    Enjoy!
