Slow Cooker Sausages in Onion Gravy

These slow cooker sausages in onion gravy feature a delicious homemade gravy that you can make with just a few simple ingredients.

By the end of cooking, you will have some lovely juicy sausages and a rich onion gravy. It is an excellent combination that is likely to please all your friends and family. I do highly recommend cooking some side dishes to go with this meal.

You may be thinking that you can easily do this dish in a frypan in just a few minutes, but you will miss out on all the lovely slow-cooked flavors of this recipe. You also might not have any cooking facilities apart from a slow cooker.

This recipe will feed roughly four to six people, but it will heavily depend on how many side dishes you make. You can easily double or triple the recipe to feed more people.

Any leftovers are worth keeping as they will reheat the next day nicely. Heat in the microwave or frypan for the best results.

Adjusting the Recipe

The type of sausage that you use is entirely up to you. I made use of some Italian beef sausages. Still, smoked sausage such as Kielbasa or chorizo will work nicely as well.

Add some mushrooms if you want an onion and mushroom gravy. Simply add the mushrooms at the start, along with the onion. The result will be just as delicious, if not better.

You can use a gravy powder instead of making a homemade gravy. Use a quarter cup of gravy powder and use water instead of chicken stock. You will no longer need the cornstarch mixture. Add the gravy powder at the start of cooking.

Adding extra vegetables into the gravy is an excellent way of adding even more flavor. Carrots will cook best if you add them at the start. If you want peas, then add these at the end, so they do not discolor.

What to Serve with the Sausages

This dish is yet another classic that goes excellent with some mashed sweet potato. It is perfect if you are craving the classic bangers and mash combination. If you have two slow cookers, you can make the mashed potato in one and this sausage dish in another.

Scalloped potatoes are a creamy side dish that will work very nicely with this meal. You can cook the scalloped potatoes in the slow cooker or bake them in the oven. It is a simple but delicious side dish.

There are lots of other sides that go great with this recipe. For example, something like fried or oven-baked chips goes excellent on the side. Even something like cauliflower cheese will be a delicious side dish.

I have spent a bit of time putting together a video that goes through the steps for making this delicious sausage meal in the slow cooker. You can find the video right below. Otherwise, there is a written recipe right underneath it.
