Wednesday - What's for Dinner - Autumn Sausage Slow Cooker Casserole
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 3:34PM 
I get the BEST ideas when I am sitting on the couch late at night surfing around on my iPad... I love to read blogs and get teaching tips, project ideas, and recipes! Tonight's recipe comes from The Home on a Hill.
We have had a fun day - nature walk with friends, then lunch and a trip to the bookstore. It was almost 3:00 p.m. by the time we got home and I put this in the crockpot; and it will be ready by dinnertime - and tonight it will also be WORLD SERIES time!
1 pound of sausage
1 large or 2 small apples
1 yellow onion chopped
1/2 cup chopped carrots
3 cups already cooked long grain rice
1/2 cup raisins
1 T dried parsley flakes
1 T brown sugar
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp back pepper
1/3 cup chicken broth or water
Brown sausage, dump all ingredients in slow cooker. Stir, cover and cook low 5-7 hours or high 3-4 hours.

That looks yummy! Have you ever tried it with uncooked rice? Also, is it ground sausage?
Oh Mary, let me know if you LOVE IT..I will try it next week. I did chicken legs today in the Crock Pot with BBQ sauce...however, it's 70 and humid here, so I am hot...looking forward to it though.
Rebecca, I have not tried it with uncooked rice. I am using some sweet ground sausage, but I think it probably should be made with the other kind - it still smells and tastes yummy, though!
Meslissa - it is hot and humid here today, too - but thankfully it will be down in the 30s Friday night. It's about time!
Melissa -- we LOVED it... we had it with a fabulous bottle of red wine and it was "a perfect marriage" (that's my husband's quote!)
Oh yay! I am so glad that you liked it. :) I should have put that I used smoked sausage. I am going to go update that now.
I used the sweet sausage (breakfast sausage, I guess) and it was REALLY good, so I'm sure it works either way!
