Heat a large skillet with oil. Add in the sausage and cook until brown and crispy. Add in the chopped peppers and onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add in the garlic until just fragrant.
Push the sausage and veggie mix to the side of the pan and add in the tomato paste. Cook until dark brown and mix into the sausage and veggies. Deglaze the pan with a cup of bone broth.
Turn the slow cooker on and add in the canned tomatoes and the beans, sauces, remaining broth, sugar, and seasonings. Then add in the sausage and veggie mix. Stir and cover.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. If cooking on the stove top, use a large pot instead of the skillet. Add step 3 straight into the pot and simmer on medium for 2 hours.
Notes
Remove seeds from spicy peppers for less heat, or keep in for more.
