This is the first time I’ve seen sausages in a slow cooker. Just need to find a nice sausage now, most are cheap and nasty

I just thought I’d let you know that I have your recipe in the slow cooker as I’m writing this. It appealed to me for a number of reasons: it yields a lot (I put 16 sausages in as they come in packs of 8). It looks tasty, I added an extra tin of diced herb, garlic and basil tomatoes, and I just crumbled a couple of stock cubes over the top and added a cup of water and stirred. I used herb and garlic sausages. There are only the two of us, and I’m fairly time poor, so I love recipes that are afffordable, with minimal preparation and you can put on and walk away to do other things. I think I will have to freeze some lol. I want to thank you, and if you have any more similar recipes and have the time to post them I would love to see them.

Alas! I gave my slow cooker to someone who needed it more than I did. Perhaps I will buy another one!
