Ingredients

1.5 lbs (about 680g) of your favourite Hull’s sausages

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, peeled and sliced

3 celery stalks, sliced

2 bell peppers (any colour), chopped

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup frozen green beans, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

Brown the Hull’s Sausages:

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Brown the Hull’s sausages on all sides until they are cooked through. This step is optional but adds extra flavour to the casserole.

Sauté Vegetables:

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Sauté the onions and garlic until softened and fragrant.

Add carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Prepare the Slow Cooker:

Transfer the browned Hull’s sausages and sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker.

Add Tomatoes and Broth:

Pour the diced tomatoes with their juice over the Hull’s sausages and vegetables.

Add the chicken or vegetable broth.

Season:

Sprinkle thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Cook:

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the flavours to meld and the sausages to become tender.

Add Frozen Vegetables:

About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and green beans. This prevents them from becoming too mushy during the long cooking process.

Thicken (Optional):

If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1/4 cup of flour with a bit of water to make a smooth paste. Stir this into the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.

Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve the Hull’s sausage casserole over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread.
