Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:6 hours
Total Time:6 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 beef/pork sausages
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 medium carrots sliced into rounds
  • ½ tsp oil
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 2 Tbsp mild curry powder
  • 1 tbsp beef stock powder or chicken stock powder
  • ½ cup raisins or sultanas
  • 2 Tbsp tomato sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1½ cups boiling water
  • ½ cup extra water to deglaze pan
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 3 Tbsp cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • pepper to taste

Corn flour Slurry (to thicken)

  • 3 Tbsp corn flour
  • 3 Tbsp water

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and slice into thick chunks.
  • In the same pan, cook the sliced onions for 3–4 minutes until starting to soften. Sprinkle in the curry powder and flour, stirring for about a minute until fragrant. Add ½ cup water to deglaze the pan.
  • In the slow cooker, combine the boiling water, stock powder, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, raisins and salt.
  • Add the sausages, onions, and carrots to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–5 hours.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, stir through the frozen peas and cream.
  • Mix the corn flour and water to make a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker until the sauce thickens.
  • Season with pepper to taste and serve.

Notes

Stacey's Kitchen Tips:
  • Browning the sausages first adds extra flavour
  • Don’t skip deglazing the pan — it makes a difference to the sauce
  • Add a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much while cooking
  • Mild curry powder keeps this family-friendly, but you can adjust to taste
 
Variations & Substitutions:
 
  • Use pork sausages instead of beef
  • Swap raisins for chopped apple for a slightly different sweetness
  • Add extra vegetables like corn or capsicum
  • Use coconut cream instead of regular cream for a different flavour
