Slow Cooker Devilled Sausages
- Total Time: 6 hours 5 minutes
Description
My 4-year-old babe is a sausage LOVER! He'll turn his nose up at pulled pork or a drumstick, but a sausage? Never! So in my quest to make things easier for myself I tried a few slow cooker sausage dishes. I did curried sausages and they were a flop and then I remembered the devilled sausages dish my mumma would make when I was younger. So I had a few go's at that and came up with this gem. It is SO rich and tasty, I reckon it would be just as yummy with gravy steak and baked in to a pie too.
Oh and if you're wondering which sausages to buy? I have tried a bunch and the only 'crap-free sausages' I've found that aren't dry or have grissly hard bits are The Free Range Butcher ones in Sydney. Their preservative & additive free variety is the one I buy. You can buy them from a stack of markets around Sydney or have them delivered fresh to your door. They're SO GOOD!
Ingredients
- 3 medium onions, finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1kg thick beef sausages
- 1 cup of broth
- 100g tomato paste
- 100g roasted red peppers
- 2 carrots, finely diced
- 1 large apple, peeled and diced
- 2 heaped tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 heaped tbsp seeded mustard
- 2 tspn tamari
- 1 tspn smoked paprika
- 1 tspn dried thyme
- TO SERVE
- 1 handful green beans
- 1 broccoli, chopped in to florets
Instructions
- Fry off your onions and garlic in a pan until they've developed some great colour. Meanwhile, get chopping the carrots and apple and pop that in the slow cooker with all the sauce ingredients.
- Stir the onion mixture through the sauce items in the slow cooker and then pop the sausages on top. Give them a gentle stir and pop the lid on to cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- When the sausages are cooked, cut them in to 1/4's and then add the green beans and broccoli to the slow cooker. Pop the chopped sausages back in, give it a stir and enjoy with any side you like.
- I like to serve mine with cauliflower mash and my kids who aren't mash fans (I know, crazy right?) eat it as is, or with steamed frozen peas.
Notes
- I keep my sausages whole as I am often trying to have my slow cooker cook for as along as it can so I can get to work. But if you want to speed things up, chop the sausages into 1/4's and they'll only take 2-hours on high to cook through.
