5 FALL SAUSAGE RECIPES TO THROW IN THE CROCKPOT

It’s fall and the kids are back in school. With school comes their extracurricular activities – they’ve got football, cheerleading, band, etc. The leaves have fallen and the temperatures are falling right with them. There’s less daylight with each passing day. Your days literally feel shorter. Soon enough, it will be pitch dark when you get up for and come home from work.

These seasonal changes can leave the best of us feeling sluggish or run down. When you feel like this, it’s easy to dread having to prepare dinner when you get home. After all, there’s no telling when the entire family can sit down to even eat together with so much going on.

Thankfully, there are so many easy-to-make fall slow-cooker recipes these days. When you own a crockpot, dinner can literally be ready for you as soon as you walk through the door. And stay warm for anyone running late for dinner.

Crock pot recipes are great for a few reasons. First, people tend to want comfort food when the weather turns colder. Food that takes its time cooking; leaving the scents of spices, vegetables, and delicious tender meats wafting throughout the house for your arrival through the front door.

Now, what if we added some sausage to that crockpot? Sausage is synonymous with this season – from grilling hot or sweet Italian sausages and kolbassi at football tailgate parties to consuming copious amounts of bratwursts – chased down by preposterously-sized beers – through Oktoberfest.

This is why Uncle Charley’s Sausage has put together this list of 5 undeniable sausage recipes for your crockpot this autumn!
