Hello autumn! And welcome back bonfires and woolly sweaters and casseroles my old friends. You know I love a slow cooker recipe, but we can get stuck in a rut with the kinds of meat we’re using (if you’re indeed a meat-eater). SO I needed to try and make a sausage casserole in the slow cooker! Mainly because sausages are such a big hit with the whole family, are versatile, inexpensive and ideal for keeping in the freezer. This Slow Cooker Sausage Casserole is SO GOOD on all counts. Wholesome beans and a thick, rich tomato sauce. Totally satisfying, hearty and delicious. I hope you love it as much as we do!
Why you’ll love this Slow Cooker Sausage Casserole recipe
⭐️ Packed with rich flavour ⭐️ Includes lots of hidden veg ⭐️ Super easy and hardly any prep The original version included fried chorizo, which I love, but this year I really wanted to update the recipe slightly to make it more affordable. (Of course, you could still add chorizo pieces if you wanted.) So, this recipe uses sausages and vegetables, along with cannellini beans for added nutrients, making a complete meal. If you’d like a non-slow cooker version, you could try my tasty Sausage Casserole with Cider and Bacon, which cooks in the oven instead.
What to serve with Sausage & Bean Casserole
Baked potatoes Rice Potato wedges Cous cous – Love this as it’s super speedy. Add sliced chillis or chilli sauce Mashed potatoes Homemade chips
In the freezer This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating. Seeing as they’re always popular and great value for money, why not also try out my foolproof Toad in the Hole recipe, my Creamy Sausage Pasta or Sausage Orzo one-pots, my Sticky Sausage Tray Bake or my Cowboy Pie. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations. If you’d like to share yours with me, you can tag me on Instagram (@tamingtwins).
