I love my slow cooker and use it year round. There are a few things to keep in mind, though, when cooking with a slow cooker. I love using my slow cooker, and I’m always adding new crock pot recipes to my collection. Who doesn’t like the idea of dumping in a bunch of ingredients, turning it on and leaving it to cook while you tend to other things? The slow cooker, or crock pot, is certainly one of the most popular kitchen utensils. If you open the lid, fill pot too full or add ingredients in the wrong order, you may end up with a mess instead of a great tasting meal. But be sure to avoid these slow cooker mistakes. They make meal prep a cinch and give a wonderful aroma as the meal cooks, almost by itself. I have not browned the sausages for this recipe, you can if you like but it is not a necessary step with the amount of cooking time, however you are welcome to.Crock Pots are a huge help in the kitchen.

You can prepare this meal in the morning before you begin your day and have a gorgeous smell of dinner just when you need it. The best thing about these sorts of meals is that you simply throw everything into the slow cooker and allow it to do its thing, in this case either 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. The sweet comes from the apples and the brown sugar, the stickyness comes from the soy and Worcestershire sauce combining with the other ingredients to create a delicious sauce quite unlike any other. The name seems to refer to a time when anything with spice on it was called devilled something – who remembers devilled eggs? In our case there is not much spice at all, but definitely room to add some if you prefer! If you are unfamiliar with the term devilled sausages, these are sausages cooked in a lovely sweet, spicy and sticky sauce. These basic ingredients are ones that you use for many slow cooker recipes so really handy to have.

No one wants a bunch of ingredients sitting in the cupboard that they are unlikely to use again. The ingredients for this one are quite basic. I have been making my devilled sausages this way for years, but before that I was often using a packet – nothing wrong with packet mixes, a few of them are really nice and so convenient! But I wanted to share this recipe as it is delicious and you know exactly what is going into your evening meal. Delicious and homemade from scratch these a classic evening meal, this recipe for Slow Cooker Devilled Sausages is sure to be a family favourite.
