Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the Italian sausage on all sides, about 5-7 minutes (this step adds extra flavor but is optional).
Place the browned sausage links into the crock pot.
Layer the sliced green bell peppers, red bell pepper, and yellow onion on top of the sausage.
In a mixing bowl, combine the marinara sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Pour the marinara mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the crock pot, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the sausages are cooked through, and the vegetables are tender.
When ready to serve, split the hoagie rolls open and toast them lightly, if desired.
Place one sausage link onto each hoagie roll. Spoon some of the peppers, onions, and sauce over the sausage.
Top each hoagie with a slice of provolone cheese. Optionally, broil the hoagies in the oven for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crock Pot Italian Sausage Hoagies!
