This is proper comfort food with hardly any effort. Just chuck everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. You’ll come back to a hearty sausage and bean stew that’s perfect for a cold day.

Method

Add the sausages, mixed beans, tinned tomatoes, stock cube, pepper, onion and paprika to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 5-6 hours, until the sauce has thickened and the sausages are cooked through.

Season to taste and serve with a scattering of chopped parsley.

Tips

You can brown the sausages and onion in a frying pan for a few minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. This adds a little extra flavour but it isn’t essential.

All slow cookers vary from each other and so might your cook times – always make sure any meat is hot throughout.
