Does sound delicious! Do you mean link sausage? Also, about how many hours of cooking? TIA!

Yes the link sausages that are not yet cooked. I put it on right before bed and eat it when we wake up. I think it's about 8 hours usually on low.

Why wait for Christmas? I'm trying this for tomorrow. Sounds awesome. Thanks!

I tried it, and it was only semi-awesome. I used sage link sausage, and the end result was kind of bland. Next time I'm going to use hot Italian instead, and probably add some rosemary or fennel.

I did it for 7 hours on low, and it was a little mushy but acceptable. I thought about crisping it up a bit in a skillet, but decided it was too much bother. With eggs on top of it and hot sauce, it was still a great breakfast.
