Ingredients Needed:

• 2 tsp Sunflower oil
• 454 g Sausages
• 1 Large Red onion
• 3 Cloves Garlic
• 800 g Tinned chopped tomatoes
• 400 g Tinned cannellini beans
• 2 tbsp Tomato puree
• 2 tsp Cumin
• 2 tsp Sweet smoked paprika
• 1 Beef stock cube
• 300 g Carrots
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Slow Cooker Sausage Casserole Recipe?

1. Brown the sausages: pan fry the sausages in oil until they’re nicely browned on all sides. If your slow cooker pan can go on the hob, you can brown them right in there.
2. Add everything to the slow cooker: add the chopped onion, garlic, chopped tomatoes, cannellini beans, tomato puree, cumin, smoked paprika, crumbled stock cube, and chopped carrots. Season with salt and pepper, then stir everything well.
3. Start cooking: put the lid on and cook on HIGH for 6 hours or LOW for 8 hours until the sauce is thick and the sausages are cooked through.
4. Final stir and serve: stir the casserole well. If you like, cut the sausages into smaller pieces before serving. Enjoy with rice, mash, or crusty bread.

Recipe Tips:

• Brown the sausages first: don’t skip this step. It adds so much flavor and helps the sausages stay firm and juicy after slow cooking.
• Cut the carrots small: chopping them into small, even pieces makes sure they cook fully and blend nicely into the sauce.
• Use sweet smoked paprika only: this gives the dish a warm, smoky taste. If you use the hot kind by mistake, it will be too spicy and overpower the dish.
• Don’t add extra water: the tomatoes and veggies release enough liquid while cooking. Adding water can make the sauce too thin.
• Stir halfway if you can: if you’re home, give it a quick stir halfway through to keep the sauce from sticking and to mix the flavors better.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover sausage casserole cool down to room temperature. Then transfer it to a sealed container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the casserole cool completely, then place it into freezer-safe containers or bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Put the casserole in a pan and heat on low, stirring often. Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick, and heat until fully warmed through.
