8. Slowcooker Sausages in Onion Gravy

Stay At Home Mum

Slowcooker Sausages in Onion Gravy is perhaps one of the easiest recipes on the entire website to make! You can use any type of sausages, I particularly like using Italian style as it gives it a bit of a kick, but if you are making it for kids, stick to the plainer varieties or honey flavoured (ohhhhh soooo goood!). You really do need to add the garlic, it gives it a lovely flavour. This recipe is suitable for freezing. Just allow the mixture to cool, place into a ziplock bag and freeze for up to three months!
