I would really appreciate some help on this one, I want to do a sausage casserole tomorrow, I want to use sausages, yellow split peas, green lentils, chopped tomatoes, pearl barley, dried sage and paprika, I'm coking for 4, but I'm not sure of the quantities. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Quantity...who cares just chuck as much as you want in to your taste. Freeze the leftovers.

I sort of make up the quantities and go by taste. Two to three sausages per person. Don't forget to brown the sausages first otherwise they look really anaemic.

Are the peas and lentils tinned or dried?

Lentils and peas are dried, I figured on about 3 ounces of both, it's the barley really I've not used it before. Freezer isn't an option, 3 batches of soup, 2 batches of a creamy pasta sauce and 5 batches of bolognese, 2 blanched cabbages, a bag of blanched mixed root veg, frozen peas, sweetcorn, spinach, mince, stock and a partridge in a pear tree etc. etc.

This made me :rotfl:

OP last night I spend hours on the forum looking at how to make a sausage casserole I am petrified of using the slowcooker our family was given as a gift last Christmas... However today I took it out of the box, washed it, lobbed some carrots, softened onions, browned sausages (the quantity was defined by how many were lurking in my freezer!) 2x tinned tomatoes and 1 x pk of passata. I will nuke a tin of sweetcorn and add some basil when I get home at the same time as preparing some cous cous. If it all goes pear shaped I will feed the kids cheese toasties

I think cooking with a SC is a bit like anything else - you tweak it to your own preference after time - and sorry I realise this post is probably no help at all

ETA - I guess what I am saying is that after spending hours how to make one according to a recipe - I just threw in what looked right...

Pearl barley - I've never cooked it in a slow cooker but usually just chuck a handful in for a casserole for 2/3, so perhaps a couple of handfuls?

This is the recipe I use. I've made it in the slow cooker and didn't reduce the liquid, since the lentils soak up so much of it anyway. I've thrown in sliced carrots before and they take on the flavours beautifully.

HTH.
