Caramelize the Onions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized (about 15–20 minutes).
Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Assemble in the Slow Cooker
Place sausages in the slow cooker.
Pour the honey mustard sauce over the sausages, coating them well.
Add the caramelized onions on top.
Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, until the sausages are fully cooked and tender.
Optional Searing
For extra flavor and a charred appearance, sear the cooked sausages on a hot grill or skillet for a few minutes before serving.
Serve
Serve sausages topped with the caramelized onions and spoonfuls of the sauce from the slow cooker.
Serving Suggestions
✅ Creamy Mashed Potatoes – perfect for soaking up the sauce.
✅ Fresh Green Salad – balances the richness.
✅ Crusty Bread – great for mopping up every drop.
✅ Roasted Vegetables – carrots or Brussels sprouts make a colorful side.
