How to Make Autumn Sausage Casserole In The Crock Pot

  1. If using uncooked sausage, brown 1 lb of sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain off any excess grease before adding to the crock-pot.
  2. Line your 4-quart slow cooker with a slow cooker liner (optional). Add the following ingredients: browned sausage, 2 cups cooked rice, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir all ingredients thoroughly to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the carrots are tender. Stir once halfway through the cooking time.
  5. (Optional for High setting): Cook on high for approximately 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Adjust cooking time as needed depending on your slow cooker and desired consistency.
