Slow Cooked Sausage Casserole: Instructions
- Pour oil into a frying pan. Heat it over medium-high heat until it gets hot.
- Brown the sausages on all sides for 4–5 minutes, then transfer to the slow cooker. This step is optional but adds extra flavour.
- Cook the onion and garlic in the same pan until they become soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic to the slow cooker along with the carrots and potatoes.
- Pour in the chopped tomatoes, stock, and tomato purée, stirring to combine.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried mixed herbs, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
- Stir everything together well, making sure the sausages and vegetables are coated in the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the sausages are cooked through.
- Stir in the frozen peas during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot, with crusty bread or mashed potatoes on the side.
This comforting, one-pot sausage casserole is perfect for busy weeknights — simply set it and forget it while the slow cooker does all the work.
