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!

How long would you do this in a pressure cooker or slow cooker?
I haven’t made this in either unfortunately! If I was to do it in the slow cooker, I’d brown off the sausages in a pan then add everything in the slow cooker for 3-4hours on high or 6-7 on low. Again though I haven’t tested this myself, just guidance 🙂
Yum!
Just made this for my family and everyone enjoyed it! One mistake I made was waiting too long before pouring the stock/cornflour mix in. All the cornflour had settled to the bottom and didn’t get poured in, and I didn’t realise until I was wondering why the sauce wasn’t thickening.
Hey Michael, sorry to hear about the cornflour, but glad to hear it went down well either way! Chris.
Beautiful, loved the smokey paprika flavour. Add a bit of heavy cream to take the edge off the tomatoes. Very impressive, thanks!
Great to hear this went down well! Thanks for popping back for a review 🙂
Hmm, I don’t have any paprika. Do you think subbing with curry powder would be okay? Cheers!
I think curry powder would alter flavour too much, so I’d definitely stick with paprika!
I’ve made this a few times now and love it so much! Wouldn’t change a single thing, it has the perfect amount of each of the flavours come through. Tastes SO delicious with a garlic potato mash!
That’s awesome to hear! I’ll have to try it with garlic mash, sounds like a delicious combo! Thanks for popping back and sharing your thoughts 🙂
I made this tonight. Halved the recipe and used wholegrain mustard as didn’t have Dijon, but otherwise followed the recipe and it was absolutely delicious. And I’ve got leftovers…
