Here’s a simple, cozy recipe for a Slow Cooker Sausage and Onion Dinner that’s perfect for easy weeknight comfort food:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (about 700g) sausage links or sausage chunks (pork, chicken, or your favorite kind)
- 3 large onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced (optional but tasty)
- 1 cup beef or chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (or fresh if you have it)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Brown the Sausages (optional but adds flavor):
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausages on all sides for about 5 minutes. This step adds great depth but you can skip it if in a rush. - Layer in Slow Cooker:
Place the sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the sausages on top. - Add Broth and Seasoning:
Pour the broth over everything. Sprinkle thyme, salt, and pepper evenly. - Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until sausages are cooked through and onions are soft and caramelized. - Serve:
Serve the sausages and onions with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
This meal is hands-off, hearty, and packed with flavor! Want me to suggest some veggie sides or a gravy recipe to go with it?
