Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 8 Beef Sausages (I like Beef & Garlic flavour)
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/4 of a Green Cabbage
  • 1 brown onion
  • 2 Apples (I have used Granny Smith and Pink Lady - both work fine)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 packet French onion soup mix

Instructions
 

  • 1. Brown sausages and set aside.
  • 2. Cut in half and thinly slice the onion; peel and slice apples and carrots; and thinly slice cabbage - place all this to the slow cooker.
  • 3. In a large bowl combine the BBQ sauce, tomato sauce, packet of French onion soup and 1 cup of hot water - stir to combine.
  • 4. Slice sausages if desired (I find it easy for the kids if sliced approx 5 pieces per sausage)
  • 5. Add sausages to slow cooker and pour over sauce/soup mix.
  • Cooked for 4 hours on High.
  • (5.5L Abode slow cooker)

Notes

  • Fab serve with Mash & Greens.
  • Can also add frozen peas and corn to sneak in a few extra vegies.

    WOW !!! Tastes great, going to make it again, and for the night, FRIDAY, when I have to eat by myself. (Due to everyone is at hockey)

  2. Joanne Simpson

    Made this today and it was delicious. I added a beef stock cube to make it a bit more savoury. I’ve never had beef sausages before and they were great. Thank you!

    Big hit with our family.

    My sister and her friend popped by for dinner too – we had plenty to feed them also. Her friend messaged me later on to ask for the recipe.

    I made it 2 weeks ago and hubby has requested I make it again for dinner tonight…. Saucy sausages it is!

  6. Tara

    Nice quick and easy meal. Left out the cabbage as I didn’t have any ?

  7. Kylie Handley

  8. Lou Stafford

    Made this tonight. My kids loved it, definately will be making at a later date.

  9. Sarah De Boar

    OMG! You all need to try this if you haven’t yet!! Hubby said it’s better than sausage obsession ;). Served with potato bake. Honestly it is delicious!!! So good. Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe!

    Prob a stupid question but Can this be cooked on low as well? How long on low?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      I’d usually cook sausages on low for around 4hrs but since Sarah has her recipe at 4hrs high then maybe try around 6hrs low 🙂

  11. Cassie

    We absolutely loved this even my 18 month old loved it she licked her plate clean, also love the idea of cabbage in it any extra vegetables with a toddler who doesn’t like veggies is a bonus.

  12. Darren Comley

    This was so tasty and also very easy to make. Will most certainly be doing this again.

  13. Michelle Watson

    Seriously yummy. Thumbs up from the kids. Although I never had BBQ sauce so I used Sweet Chilli Sauce and instead of cabbage I used leek.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      Oh sweet chilli would be so yummy! I’ll try that one too 🙂

  14. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

    Great recipe!
    I increased the sausages to 14 easily and still had plenty of sauce.
    I cooked them whole and raw (no browning) and cut them towards the end of cooking time in the pot with a plastic egg flip several at once by pushing down on them as I usually do 🙂
    I would decrease the sauces to 1/2 cup each next time I cook it just to cut the sugar a bit but I’d definitely cook it again – YUM!!

  15. Sharon Russell

    So tasty was a hit in my house. Thankyou for the recipe

  16. Katie

    Has anyone else found this super sweet? I left out cabbage as my partner doesn’t like it, I’m not sure if that’s the problem but I found it way too sweet, had to add a lot of water and gravy to try to save it.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      Just cut back the sauce or use sugar free version 🙂

  17. Anne

    What a flavoursome dish. Only had BBQ sausages. Only put half cup each of the sauce and added sweet chilli sauce, used only half the packet of french onion soup. Sauce was plenty and very nice flavour.

  18. andrea

    Everyone really enjoyed this even got my girls to eat cabbage. I will reduce the sauce a bit also and add a bit extra water. Sweet chilli would also be awesome.

  19. Jen Proctor

    So tasty!
    I switched it up abit.. instead of a full cup i did..
    1/2 cup bbq sauce
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce

    Plenty of sauce for 8 sausages and sooooo yummy!!

  20. Sam

    Would adding mushrooms work in this dish?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      Sure you could if you wanted to 🙂

  21. Michelle

    I have made this numerous of times as master 4 loves it however he didn’t like it with the cabbage. So I put some mixed frozen veg in it

  22. Kara

    Looks fantastic, i really want to cook this hower my son hates sausages. Could I take the meet out of the skin and make little balls, to look like meatball?

    I have a heap of sausages in freezer, know my little fussy eater will only eat top quality cuts .
    He loves the slow cooked chicken carbonara, and spag bowl.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      You could. Though you may need to add some breadcrumbs etc to bind them together well? Alternatively you could pre boil the sausages enough to be able to remove the skin. Then cut them into little pieces and he may not realise then it’s a sausage 😉

  23. Kellie

    What can you substitute for French onion soup or can it be left out?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      You can make your own if that helps 🙂 Recipe to do so HERE

  24. shygirl_tld

    I omitted the cabbage and added some mushrooms. I enjoyed it. Leftovers were great on toast

  25. Lesley

    I just had this for tea. Absolutely bloody amazing. It smelled like relish when I took the lid off. ???

  26. Gersrdine Miller

    Hi l can’t have tomato sauce.ls there anything l can substitute for it?
    .

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      Can you have passata sauce etc? Or no tomato at all?
      Otherwise perhaps you could increase the bbbq sauce and go half half with water to make up that cup that would have been tomato sauce Gersrdine?

  27. Julia Watson

    Made for the first time tonight. Didn’t have any cabbage & only used one apple as it was all I had. I also added some frozen spinach & zucchini to sneak in some more vege. Super delicious. Fussy hubby approved. Will add to our regular dinner plans

    I halved all the ingredients. Was an easy recipe & very tasty. All I changed was I added some curry powder. Otherwise it was a tad sweet for our taste. We do have an addiction to curry. 😁
    Husband questioned the apple when I was preparing it!!! Haha. Not an ingredient I would usually use in a dinner. He loved it !!!

    I made this without the apples and cabbage and served it with jasmine rice for a recent potluck with a group of seniors. It was a real hit and they have asked for it again next time. Plenty of sauce in this one.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      That’s so great to hear that it was a hit! – thanks Jan for leaving your feedback 🙂
