Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 8 pork sausages
  • 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon or 3 rashers smoked back bacon chopped
  • 1 large leek sliced
  • 1 garlic clove sliced
  • 100ml chicken stock
  • 1 glass white wine (approx. 125ml)
  • a pinch of chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 3 roasted red peppers from a jar chopped
  • 400g tin borlotti beans drained and rinsed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • a small bunch of flat leaf parsley roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat the slow cooker to high. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and brown the sausages all over, making sure you get a really good colour on them (around 8 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside, then cook the bacon until crisp and golden (around 5 minutes). Add the sausages and bacon to the slow cooker along with the leeks, garlic, stock, wine, chilli flakes and tomato purée. Cook for 2 hours then add the peppers and beans and cook for another hour. Season and stir in the parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Enjoy with some crusty bread or on a baked potato - yum!
  • This slow-cooker sausage casserole recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people, if you have a bigger slow-cooker.
