    Very yummy. However, i didn’t use any pumpkin. Still turn out lovely. Good use of sausages taking up space in the freezer.
    Next time though, i might put in some more potato to make up for not using pumpkin 🙂

    Yummy!
    I didn’t use pumpkin so next time i make this i’ll put in more potato to make up. I also didn’t cook it for a further hour after i put the cheese on. I left it for maybe 15 mins while the cheese melted. Still came out nice. 🙂

    All time favorite sausage recipe. We come back to this all the time especially during the colder months!

    What I loved about this recipe is that it is super easy and very tasty. Par boiled my sausages. Instead of pumpkin I used sliced carrots, also added some chili flakes to the cream, we like spice. Because was wanting a one pot meal, before adding the cheese I added some defrosted peas and corn

  5. Kids absolutely loved this recipe! So easy to make and with some steamed broccoli it’s a complete meal for fussy eaters

  6. Absolutely fantastic. A new family favourite. Even mr fussy eater my 7 year old went back for seconds. Gunna be a regular in my house

    Cooking this at the moment, smelling yummy, taste test to come.

    We All loved this recipe. So easy and cheap to make. Super tasty, definitely a new staple in this house

  9. My family all love this recipe. My 4 year old requests it weekly, this is her all time favourite slow cooker recipe. I used another user’s tip about adding a layer of defrosted peas and corn (2 cups worth) before the layer of cheese so had some veggies in it. It says 4-6 serves, I use 1kg of potatoes and it gives us (family of 2 adults, 2 young kids) 2 nights worth of dinner and one lunch for hubby. I’ve also accidentally used normal cooking cream rather than light and that works as well.

  10. Question could you cook up sausages the night before and then put them in fridge and then put them in slow cooker next day?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central July 20, 2018

      I wouldn’t pre brown them that way
      But you could cook them right through
      Half cooking them wouldn’t be great for food safety but full cooking ok

  11. I tired this the first time the other day. It was delicious the only difference I would do next time is slightly brown the sausages prior to putting it in the slow cooker 🙂

  12. Mine and my partners favourite slow cooker recipe. Also added some bacon to the sausages. Still very good without it though.

      It’s a cream that resists splitting when heated. Check in the cold cream section (ours is Bulla brand) and in the long life shelf milk section (Carnation milk)

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central October 3, 2019

      Layered with the potato if you choose to include them 🙂

  13. My family love this but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. There always seems to be a lot of oil once it’s cooked.

  14. Great recipe, nice to come home to the lovely smell of tea already cooked, i used cheese and bacon sausages, turned out fab, will try it again ??

    Simple & delish. Added half cup vegetable stock 1.5hr left of cooking time for a little boost of flavour!

  16. Made this for the first time last night. Mr fussy pants raved about it #win. Such an easy dish to make.

    I’ll definitely be making it again definitely but will be adding either pumpkin or sweet potato next time to reduce the slightly salty taste.

  17. Great recipe, cheap with a few simple ingredients and it’s yummy!

    Hubby says “this is a winner”
    I had no cream but used evaporative milk with four dollops of butter instead and added sweet potato too. Yum ?

    A real hit at my house! I didn’t bother pre cooking the sausages. Added a potato bake bacon mix through the cream and used leek instead of onion because that’s what I had. We will be having this regularly.

    Tried this recipe for the first time this week. A winner ? added pumpkin and carrot, and served with steamed beans and broccoli. Plenty left for lunches too! ?

    This was an absolute hit.

    I didn’t add pumpkin but instead used about a kilo of potato and added the peas, corn and carrot for the last hour.

    Next time I will double the amount of sausages as two teenage boys devoured this and could have eaten more.

  22. 5 stars
    Absolutely delicious, and so easy! I swapped out the sausages for beef-and-lamb meatballs, and didn’t brown them. I also swapped out the tasty cheese for Colby cheese, as I find it melts better. The leftovers won’t be around for long!

    So easy. Smells delicious while cooking, and tasted equally delicious. I added a piece of sweet potato that needed using, as well as pumpkin. Served with broccoli, peas and carrots. Will definitely make this again

    one of the best flavours out standing for such a easy meal will be making it again 😋

      I read this out to my hubby who made this recipe and he nodded proudly, announcing “see, men know good tucker!” hahaha
