This pot roast from the slow cooker usually comes out luscious and moist. Carrots, onions, celery, and potatoes are used in its preparation.

Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas
- 1 (1 pound) package smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 (15 ounce) can yellow corn, drained
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bring a pot of water to boil; cook peas in the boiling water until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain.
- Mix peas, sausage, corn, chili sauce, onion, basil, black pepper, and 1 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese together in a 3-quart casserole dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese over casserole and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
- Another great tip – make ahead! This is my go-to casserole when I know I’ll be away from my family for dinner. You can mix ahead the same day, or make and freeze to have on hand when in a pinch.

Excellent recipe! Prepared this on the stovetop, using NAS canned corn and peas (to cut the sodium content). Turned out very well!
Smoked Sausage Casserole Haiku: “Okay, this was odd. Only made for one reason: had that chili sauce.” So doing an ingredient search on AR for anything including Heinz Chili Sauce yielded this recipe that conveniently had other items that I typically have around, but why did I not actually think about that combination of ingredients before starting to put this together? I browned the sausage w/ the onions (prefer smoked sausage a little more “done”) and wouldn’t have wanted raw onion bites floating around a casserole, but followed everything else, although nothing seemed to improve what turned out to be the most peculiar, unappetizing casserole I think I’ve ever prepared. We picked at our plates, and tossed the leftovers. Sorry for the less-than-thrilled review but my husband was in a fit of giggles when I served this, it was just THAT weird.
This turned out better than I thought. We did do a few things differently, like browning the sausage with the onion in a pan, then adding a little water and cooking the frozen peas and frozen corn before mixing with the chili sauce, cheese and seasonings to bake. We made rice with the water from cooking the sausage/veggies and ate that with the casserole.
