🧾 Ingredients
8 pork sausages (Italian, bratwurst, or your favorite variety)
3 large onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
Brown the sausages in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side. This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
Place the sliced onions and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Arrange the browned sausages on top of the onions.
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, thyme, and black pepper.
Pour the mixture over the sausages and onions.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the sausages are cooked through and the onions are tender.
Mix the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking to thicken the gravy.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
