SLOW COOKER AUTUMN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Slow Cooker Autumn Sausage Casserole image

I haven't tried this recipe yet but I didn't want to lose it. I found it on the "Year of SlowCooking" blog.

Provided by TheMamaBomb

Categories     Stew

Time 7h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb sausage, any flavor
1 large apple, chopped, no need to peel
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped carrot
3 cups already cooked long-grain rice
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup chicken broth or 1/3 cup water

Steps:

  • The Directions.
  • The amount of ingredients fit nicely in a 4 quart crockpot. I'd say this comfortably feeds a family of 4-5 with a bit of leftovers. If you have a large family or teenagers, add more rice and sausage. It's a pretty easy recipe to adapt to your needs.
  • If you are going to use uncooked pork sausage, I'd recommend browning on the stove top, and draining before adding to the crockpot.
  • Otherwise, dump all the ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4. You're really only heating through, and allowing the vegetables to soften.
  • This will not stick together like a gloppy casserole; it has the consistency of fried rice. Use bowls to serve rather than plates.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausages for a more flavorful dish. Try using a combination of pork, chicken, and turkey sausages, or use a spicy sausage for a kick.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the sausage in batches. Overcrowding will prevent the sausage from cooking evenly.
  • Add vegetables to the slow cooker for a healthier meal. Try adding chopped onions, peppers, carrots, or celery to the slow cooker along with the sausage.
  • Use low-sodium broth or water to keep the dish from being too salty.
  • Season the sausage with your favorite seasonings before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve the sausage casserole with your favorite sides. Try mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker sausage casserole is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can have a hearty and flavorful meal that the whole family will enjoy.
