Ingredients
 

  • 12 thin beef sausages
  • 1 large onion thin sliced
  • 1 x 410g can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 x 50g packet of Burrito Mexican seasoning
  • 1- 2 cups water (see variations notes below)
  • 1 green capsicum/pepper diced
  • 120g can corn kernels

Instructions
 

  • Add raw sausages to slow cooker and top with sliced onion, corn and capsicum
  • Combine burrito mix and crushed tomatoes with 2 cups of water and pour over sausages and onion.
  • Cook on low for 5hrs
  • Serve with mashed potato or rice
  • -Notes
  • I often slice the sausages towards the end (in last hour) then return them to the pot so they go further for a large family
  • Sometimes I'll combine red and green capsicum, either or both are ok
  • VARIATIONS:
    Another option is to stir through 200ml cooking cream in the final hour to create a creamy sauce version also pictured above - very yummy!
    I've also substituted burrito mix for fajita or taco mix instead
    I find that different types of sausages require different amounts of liquids to slow cook. Butcher vs different supermarkets etc can seem to kind of 'soak' up more liquids than others so in this recipe I often start with 1 cup, then add more if I notice it not saucy enough as I go along.
