PIN FOR LATER!
This sounds perfect for a snowy winter evening. Would it work to combine ham & sausage slices in the same dish or would it better to make 2 batches, one with each meat? Thanks for the recipe/
Hey LLynn, yep, you can totally combine the sausage and ham in the same dish. Just slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch pieces and cook the dish on low for 6 to 8 hours.
