AUTUMN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE (IN THE CROCK POT )

Steps:

• If you are going to use uncooked sausage, brown on the stove top, and drain before adding to the crockpot.
• Otherwise, line your 4 quart sized crock pot with a slow cooker liner, dump ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
• Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the orange vegetable is tender.
• STIR once during the cooking time. I have not made this on high but am guessing an hour with more frequent stirring.

SLOW COOKER AUTUMN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• The Directions.
• The amount of ingredients fit nicely in a 4 quart crockpot. I'd say this comfortably feeds a family of 4-5 with a bit of leftovers. If you have a large family or teenagers, add more rice and sausage. It's a pretty easy recipe to adapt to your needs.
• If you are going to use uncooked pork sausage, I'd recommend browning on the stove top, and draining before adding to the crockpot.
• Otherwise, dump all the ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
• Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4. You're really only heating through, and allowing the vegetables to soften.
• This will not stick together like a gloppy casserole; it has the consistency of fried rice. Use bowls to serve rather than plates.

AUTUMN SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut sausages into 3/4" pieces. Fry in oil over medium heat until cooked completely through. Remove to a lightly greased casserole dish.
• Meanwhile, chop sweet potatoes into 3/4" cubes, place in a microwaveable bowl with 2 Tbsp water, cover and cook on high 3-5 minutes or until tender. Drain (if necessary) and add to sausage.
• Slice onion into thin rings. Core and slice apple into thin slices, peeling if desired.
• Drain all but 1 Tbsp grease from sausage pan. Add onions and cook, stirring often until soft and golden. Add apples and cook an additional 2 minutes.
• Add garlic and rosemary. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add wine and broth. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
• Add onion mixture to sausage and sweet potatoes and stir gently to combine.
• Place in oven for 15-20 minutes.
