Excellent recipe! I added an extra can of tomato sauce, some carrots, and threw in some chipotle seasoning. It was very tasty. I will definitely be using this recipe again.

Wow! This was so good! Can't figure out why some said was lacking in flavor because mine came out delicious! I took the skin off my sausage and eyeballed in the potatoes. Maybe about a pound. I used a half pound of bacon since there was only 3 slices left after I took the 6 slices out. I didn't have zucchini so I chopped up some carrots, and fresh baby corn and sliced mushrooms since that is what I had. I followed the directions frying in batches. I fried the carrots with the onions and 3 cloves garlic. Then the sausage and then I also cooked the potatoes to give them a head start and added the mushrooms towards the end. Added all to crock with an extra 8 oz. can of sauce . I added 3/4 cup Merlot wine. Will use the zucchini also the next time. The more veggies the better for me. Cooked on low at first but then cranked it up on high until done and everyone raved how good it was. The baby corn stayed crisp and it was so good. Followed all the other ingredients. This is one of the best stews we have ever had!! It's a keeper! Yummy! Thanks for posting!

I was looking for a recipe to use for my son's venison kielbasa. This one worked great! My entire family loved it! I will definitely make it again.

This dish is OK but nothing to write home about. To add more flavor, I think it needs more garlic, and add generous tabasco.

I thought this was bland. Too many potatoes. The sausage was OK. Nothing unusual

I have mixed views on this recipe.....being portuguese I grew up eating and making linguica. I liked the overall flavor but I think it needed more liquid...If I made it again I wouldnt do it in the slow cooker. I definetly want to give it another try but with some changes.

I really liked this recipe even tho i didnt think i would. I added an extra can of tomato sauce as someone else suggested and used red potatoes. I used the hot linguica which was too spicy for my husband but i LOVED! Next time ill use the mild or regular sausage so not to upset his tummy. Thanks for the great recipe!!

Everyone loved it. I have only made Linguica with egg and or pepper sandwiches. This was a nice dish and smelled as great as it tastes. I like to remove the skin from the Linguica as well as other types of sausages. Otherwise followed the directions and it was perfect. (I think different types of potatoes cook better in crockpots, try small white or red potatoes they cooked up fine in the amount of time stated.) Served with warm Portugese Bread. (I downsized the recipe to serve 8 and it came out great using a 4qt crock pot.)

Amazing!! My husband and I absolutely loved it!! I used Polska Kielbasa instead of the sausage because we couldn't find any in our area, but still a wonderful flavor!!!

I had to go to a local Mexican grocery store (there are not that many here in Virginia Beach, Virginia!!) to find the linguica. But I'm glad I pursued it; the linguica really made a difference. I think if I had given up and substituted it for regular sausage I would have missed out on all the wonderful flavor it add to the stew. The only change I made was less potatoe's; 3 lbs was a ton!! Plus I had to add 1 cup of water to make it stew like; otherwise it would have been more like a casserole.
