can i put frozen sausages into a slow cooker? or do i need to cook them first?

[glassslipper]

slowcooker virgin wanting to make a sausage casserole.

recipes welcome

I don't think you need to cook them first, but I would certainly defrost them.

are they fresh sausages frozen or prepacked frozen sausages? I put prepacked ones straight in the slowcooker plus I cheat and use Asda's packet mix for the casserole

thanks guys. they are prepacked frozen sausages. do they taste ok when cooked like that whoops?

I think I would defrost and brown them in a frying pan/grill first.

They would look most unappetising pink and unbrowned! If you are not worried about the colour of them, I would defrost them first, otherwise your slow cooker will never reach the right temperature if you put them in frozen!

They tatse fine Glassslipper I don't usually find they are pink though

as long as they taste nice i'm not sure dh and dd would be bothered. i have a packet mix too

whoops - how long would i do it for in the slowcooker? sorry to ask so many q's.

I put things in first thing and eat between 5 & 6pm only because I Am out all day at work though

thats cool. i can make at about 8.30 and eat at 5ish.

thanks very much for your help.
