This Devilled Sausages Recipe is the ultimate comfort food. Cooked in one pan with a rich and spicy tomato sauce, quick dinners have never tasted so good!
If you haven’t tried devilled sausages before you’re in for a treat! For those of you who have, but use store bought packet mixes, then you’re also in for a treat because these are 10000x times better 🙂 (just saying).
What are Devilled Sausages?
Devilled sausages are essentially a quick sausage casserole in a sweet, spicy and slightly sticky sauce. They’re often cooked in one pan in a rich tomatoey/beefy sauce and served with fruit such as apples, pears or currants.
Devilled sausages are the answer to your week night dinners. Quick, easy and a good excuse to use up some cupboard staples.
Finding a traditional devilled sausage recipe is pretty tricky, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen the same recipe twice! So, here I offer you my version!
Devilled Sausages Ingredients
- Pork Sausages
- Beef Stock + Cornstarch (Cornflour)
- Chopped Tomatoes
- Onion
- Apple
- Garlic
- Mustard
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Soy Sauce
- Smoked Paprika
- Cayenne Pepper
- Thyme
How to make Devilled Sausages
- Fry up your sausages until browned and just cooked through. Remove from pan.
- Fry your onion & apple until golden, add your garlic to fry for a further minute, then pour in your beef stock + cornstarch and chopped tomatoes.
- Add your smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (to taste), mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme and seasoning and simmer until thickened and the sausages are cooked throughout.
Yup, that simple!
Devilled sausages in the slow cooker are also a great idea! You can even sub the pork sausages with veggie sausages to make a hearty vegetarian meal too.
What to serve with Devilled Sausages
For me it’s always gotta be a nice dollop of creamy mashed potatoes. Bangers and mash is such a glorious combo and adding a rich tomatoey sauce to the equation is just a foodgasm waiting to happen.
I’ve also eaten these with rice before which works perfectly and for a low carb option consider using adding cauliflower rice!
Either way, a nice sprinkle of fresh parsley looks and tastes fab 🙂
So for a new meal to add to your rotation dinners give these yummy devilled sausages a go! Whether you’ve tried them before or have never heard of them, you’re bound to fall in love with this delicious homemade version!

So glad it went down well! Thanks for popping back and sharing your feedback 🙂
Hi, just wondering if I should pre cook the sausages if I’m using the slow cooker? And how long in the slow cooker would you recommend? 🙂
Hey Jade, I’ve never actually made this in the slow cooke, so can’t 100% tell you the outcome. I would definitely brown the sausages, just for extra flavour (don’t need to be cooked all the way through). At an educated guess I’d cook on high for 2-4hours or low for 6-8. I’d also leave the apple out until 30mins (high) or 1 hour (low) otherwise it’ll turn to mush. Hope this helps! Chris x
So tasty and comforting! Loving it 🙂
That’s awesome to hear! 🙂
What type of mustard is used — prepared yellow mustard or dry powder?
Hi Trish! I use prepared mustard (English or Dijon). Apologies for not specifying in the recipe!
This recipe is so creative! Can’t wait to make it. Thanks for sharing!
My son loves sausages…can’t wait to make this for him.
Oh perfect! Enjoy 🙂
That photo of the sausages over the mashed potatoes – I actually gasped. I immediately went upstairs and put sausages on the grocery list!!
Haha that’s amazing!! Love it 🙂
As an Aussie this is a weeknight favourite! Gave this one a go with a bit of my own flare, I like mine a bit sweet so I added 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce and same of ketchup. Replaced the apples with carrots (wife isn’t a fan of hot fruit) Now here is the absolute GAME CHANGER i added 100ml of Tawny Port to the stock omg so rich! No cornstarch just simmered it down longer around 1 hour. Wonderful thank you
Love the alterations, Rod! Thanks so much for the review 🙂 C.
