Directions
Sausage, Leek and Apple Casserole, Since (wisely) investing in a slow cooker / crock pot earlier this year, this casserole has hardly been off the menu I like to use top quality organic sausages (Duchy chipolatas are my fave) but my other half prefers good old Walls, so I throw in both types to suit both tastes Serves up great with some mash and steamed greens , Wow! In fact Wow! Wow! Wow! – you’ve just got to try this amazingly tasty recipe! used some tomato and mozarella pork sausages from Tesco and also threw in a few cherry tomatoes that were lanquishing in the fridge This is one of the best recipes I have ever made and sooo easy! Thanks Wendy-Bob and more UK recipes please! xxxxxxxx, Absolutely delicious yummy yummy yum yum

Steps

1

Cut the Bacon Into Slices and Brown It in a Pan For a Few Minutes With the Sausages. You Can Use Cooking Spray If You Like but the Bacon Usually Makes Enough Fat of It's Own to Help the Sausages Along. |

While the Meat Is Browning, Cut the Mushrooms in Half, Cube the Apple, Slice the Leek and Cut the Carrot Into Batons. |

When the Meat Is Done, Put It to One Side in the Crock Pot / Casserole Dish Along With the Mushrooms and Apple. Add the Remaining Veg (leek and Carrot) to the Pan to Soften a Little. |

After a Couple of Minutes, Sprinkle the Flour Over the Veg and Mix Through (the Flour Thickens the Sauce, but If You Prefer a More Watery Gravy Then You Can Omit This Step). |

Add the Cider to the Pan - It Will Bubble Up to Begin With but Don't Worry About It. Turn Up the Heat and Cook For a Couple of Minutes to Burn the Alcohol Off (i Sniff-Test It and Cook Until It Stops Smelling Boozy). |

Transfer All the Ingredients in the Pan to the Crock Pot / Casserole Dish (cider and All). |

Now This Is Where You Have to Use Your Judgement a Bit! I Find 300ml Water Is Usually About Right to Top Up My Crock Pot, but You May Find You Need a Bit More/Less Depending on the Exact Amount of Ingredients You Have Used (ie. Size of Sausages, Carrot, Etc.). So as not to Waste Any of the Stock Cube, I Crumble It Into the Crock Pot Without Dissolving It in Water First and Then Add as Much Water as Is Needed to Just Cover All the Ingredients. |

Crockpot: Cook on Low For 8-9hrs or Medium For Around 5hrs. |

Oven: I've Never Actually Made This in the Oven but Have No Doubt It Would Work Just as Well. I Would Imagine That, If You Cover the Casserole Dish and Cook It at Around 150 Degrees It Should Be Done in a Couple of Hours. |
