Slow Cooker Sausage Stew

This is adapted from a recipe I got years ago on the back of a can of Progresso beans.  Of course, I have since lost the recipe and have been doing it by memory on the stove-top over the years.

I decided to convert the recipe into a slow cooker recipe and it came out fantastic!

I love this recipe because it is not only tasty but is is also super filling. The Italian sausage brings a ton of flavor and beans and pasta provide a lot of filler making this the perfect dinner to make when you need to fill up hungry bellies.

Mom’s of teen boys…are you listening?


Equipment Needed For Crock-Pot Sausage Stew Recipe:

  • 6 Quart, 6.5 Quart Or 7 Quart Slow Cooker
  • Medium Skillet
  • Tongs
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Can Opener
  • Fine Mesh Strainer
  • Large Pasta Pot With Strainer
  • Ladle

Common Questions:

What Type Of Italian Sausage Can I Use In This Recipe?

This recipe calls for links of Italian sausage, however if you would prefer to use bulk Italian sausage and cook and crumble it instead you can do that. I used sweet Italian sausage for my family. However, if you like you can use hot Italian sausage instead to add a little spice to your stew.

Can I Cook The Pasta In The Stew Instead Of On The Stove-Top?

For the best results I prefer to cook the pasta separately and on the stove-top, and then add to the stew right before serving. Cooking the pasta in the slow cooker can often result is mushy pasta which has absorbed up a lot of the cooking liquid.

Can I Use Other Types Of Pasta In This Recipe?

You can substitute the shell pasta for any of the following pasta shapes which are great in soups and stews:

  • Elbow Macaroni
  • Pipette
  • Mini Farfalle
  • Orzo
  • Ditalini
  • Campanelle
  • Collezione Casarecce
  • Cellentani
  • Gemelli
  • Mini Penne
  • Mini Wheels
  • Orecchiette
