Recipe for sausage casserole...

12 Sausages
2 Tablespoons Caramelised Onions
500 Mixed Veg (I ran out of fresh, so the standby frozen had to do)
1 kg Baby Potatoes (any potatoes would do for this)
1 x Beef Stock Pot or 2 Stock Cubes
Pinch Salt



As usual, my slow cooking is just all thrown in. I wanted to give the sausages the taste and aroma of the onions so I took the frying pan out and first let the chopped onions cook for a few minutes on low heat.

Turn up the heat a little and fry the onions until they are mixed in with the caramelised ones.

Lightly cook sausages in the pan with the onions.

Then put the sausages and onions into the slow cooker, along with the vegetables and fill with enough boiling water to cover the ingredients. Add the stock pot or stock cubes and salt.

Place the sliced potatoes on the top of the ingredients in the slow cooker. Don’t put any more water in the pot.

Put on the lid and cook for 8 hours on low setting, or 4 hours on high setting. Thicken before serving with cornflour and hey presto.


There was enough food in the pot to feed 4 of us.

Awe - that makes me excited for summer!!! Our contractor was talking about how they were going to cover that brick wall & my hubby said "absolutely not!" Our neighbors & friends did the same thing to their existing outer wall & my hubby loved that look!

Good for you keeping the brick!
The building I work in is a former clock and watch factory from the late 1800s-early 1900s that was converted to an office building, retaining the interior red-brick walls and the numerous windows. The building has character and personality from all the scars in the brick from years of use and where machinery was formerly located. The huge clock that was in the clock tower is on the wall of the reception area. (It doesn't work---it's just there as decor.)

You are right on!

Thanks snowflake! Me too! I told Mom she would be home just in time to watch it snow!!! She said....."Great....."



Thank you!
Mom is doing much better. White blood cell count is down again today but her platelets are still above 1 million. Doc says it will just take time. They are booting her out tomorrow! I'm so excited to get her home. Happy to think only 1 more trip to the hospital (hopefully) then we can go to Moms house to visit!

Fantastic news your mom is doing much better Holiday...Continued thoughts and prayers sent your way my friend
