What is a Slow Cooker Sausage & Bean Casserole?
It’s a hearty sausage recipe made with beans, vegetables, and a rich tomato-based sauce. Everything cooks slowly in the slow cooker, giving you a warming and filling family dinner that’s full of flavour.
Do I need to brown the sausages first?
It’s not essential, but browning the sausages in a pan before adding them to the slow cooker gives extra flavour and helps them keep their shape in the casserole.
How long does it take to cook?
Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours. The sausages will be tender, and the sauce will be thick and rich by the end.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, this is a great family dinner to prep in the morning. Add everything to the slow cooker, set the timer, and it will be ready when you get home.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze this sausage recipe for up to 3 months. Defrost and reheat thoroughly before serving.
What can I serve with sausage & bean casserole?
It’s delicious on its own but also works well with mashed potato, crusty bread, or a simple green salad.
Is this recipe budget-friendly?
Yes, it’s one of the best easy dinner ideas if you’re cooking on a budget. Sausages and beans are both affordable ingredients, and the slow cooker helps make the most of them.
