Slow Cooker Sausage Casserole Recipe

This slow cooker sausage casserole recipe is one of my all-time favourites. There’s something SO comforting about a sausage casserole, especially when it’s able to slow cook and be ready for you once you get home!

Loved by the whole family, this sausage casserole is flavoured with thyme, paprika, tomatoes and garlic. A rich base of carrots, onion and peppers make the dish feel light, whilst being rich and comforting, too.

I love to serve this recipe with crusty bread and creamy mashed potatoes. You can freeze any leftovers you have, or keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days.

6. To the same pan you cooked the onions and carrots in, add in the sausages. You want to brown the sausages on each side – which usually takes 2 mins a side. Make sure to brown them as much as you like as they won’t get any browner once transferred to the slow cooker.
