Slow cooker sausage and stout casserole

Ahhh our slow cooker sausage and stout casserole is just perfect for a cold, wet and windy day. It's super easy to put together, literally a few minutes work in the morning.

Just lightly brown the sausages, throw in a few roughly chopped shallots, a couple of handfuls of baby chantenay carrots, pour over the beef stock and stout and a teaspoon of honey and leave the slow cooker to do its thing.

You can serve your sausage and stout casserole with baked potato, chips or if your really want something quick and no fuss when you get home from work serve it with microwave rice, ready in just 2 minutes.

Slow Cooker Sausage And Stout Casserole Recipe

• 8 plump good quality sausages

• 3 large shallots - peeled and roughly chopped

• 250g baby Chantenay carrots

• 200ml beef stock

• 150ml stout

• 1 teaspoon honey

• salt and pepper to season

How To Make Our Slow Cooker Sausage And Stout Casserole

I use a Crockpot sauté style slow cooker with removable hob safe pan so I start the sausage casserole off in that on the hob then transfer to the slow cooker once it's boiling. If you don't have a hob safe slow cooker then use a saucepan for the hob cooking parts.

• Heat the slow cooker to low (8 hours cooking time) or high (4 hours cooking time)

• Brown the sausages - tip in the shallots and baby carrots, pour over the beef stock and stout, season with salt and pepper and stir in a teaspoonful of honey.

• Bring to the boil - and then place into the slow cooker and leave for either the low 8 hours or high 4 hours cooking time.

• If the casserole needs thickening do this by mixing a teaspoonful of cornflour into a paste with a little cold water and stir through the casserole.
