Crock Pot Sausage and Mushroom Bake

Jewelies's Note:

Tasty, hearty sausage and mushroom bake. Great for those cold winter nights. Also if you omit the chilli it would be an excellent breakfast to wake up to. The original recipe uses beef sausages, I prefer chicken but it's personal taste. And I normally don't even skin the sausages.

We really enjoyed this meal, simple to make and I liked the combination of sausage, potatoes, mushrooms and baked beans. Took less time to cook than noted, it was done in about 5 1/2 hours, but I did cut my potatoes pretty thin. I also used a "lite" beef sausage and it worked well.

I doubled the sausage and used half sweet Italian sausage and half smoked turkey sausage. I also used 6 oz. of fresh sliced mushrooms. I didn't have baked beans on hand so substituted a can of navy beans, 1/4 c. ketchup and 3 Tbsp. brown sugar, and used 1 tsp. of chili powder. This was mild enough for the kids and it was quite tasty. Thanks for a keeper ... it's great to be able to wake up to breakfast all ready to eat!

I used a mixture of chicken & beef sausages & diced the potatoes instead of slicing. I wanted it saucy so added a can of tomato soup as well & left out the chilli to cater for my 20 month old. This was a nice simple dish to put together and one I'm sure to make again. Thanks!
