I like Slow Cooker Appetizer Recipe Sweet & Spicy Sausage I am so excited to try these recipes. I have wrote down a bunch and bookmarked your page just incase I lose the pages!! It all looks so good.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy 🙂
I love your recipes, the pictures to go along with the step by step instructions are great.
Thanks!
This sounds super easy and yummy, do you think I could substitute the apricot jam for raspberry or strawberry jam and substitute the turkey sausage for pork sausage links and it still taste as good??
Absolutely! In fact, that sounds delicious 🙂
How many ounces of meat? Your picture shows 40 oz packages… Is it really 80 oz total?
This is meant for a party or feast! But, feel free to halve the recipe for a smaller family get-together 🙂
