How to Make Barbecued Sausage Pieces Crock Pot

  1. Cut sausage into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Brown the sausage pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Transfer the browned sausage to your slow cooker.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the sausage in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours, or until the sausage is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
