Sausage Casserole

There is already one sausage casserole recipe on here, but this one is slightly different...not very, but a little bit.

Today I had my last exam! I'm at work all day tomorrow then I need to start clearing my flat out as we're moving out this year (so sad), so it hasn't quite hit me yet that I really don't have anything to do anymore. But I wanted something yummy and warm for tea to celebrate :)

I didn't take a photo, but it did look amazing, but very similar to all the other sausage cassroles I've made :)

Ingredients (serves 2)

4 reduced fat sausages

2 carrots

1 onion

Handful of mushrooms

Can of chopped tomatoes

Can of haricot beans - drained

1 garlic clove

Drizzle of olive oil

100mL chicken or veg stock

2 baked potatoes

1. Grill your sausages until sealed, then set aside - do this as you're doing the rest really.

2. With the oil, fry your onion, garlic, mushrooms and carrot until soft, then add them to your casserole dish

3. Add in the tomatoes, beans and stock, and chop up your sausages and add them, too. Season well.

4. Bake for 20 minutes with a lid, then take off the lid and continue baking for 15 minutes.

We served ours with bake potatoes :D

Sausage Casserole

I'm going to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight at Sunderland Empire, and I'm so excited! I have my costume - Columbia - which I made myself. Plus it's been cold lately, so me and Rob wanted something warm, but filling, so we wouldn't want to snack in the theater.

This recipe is something I've come up with myself, taking inspiration from a few recipes on the Be Food Smart website, but adjusting them accordingly for what we have in our cupboards and coming up with this :).

Ingredients for 2 people
4 reduced fat sausages
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion - chopped
1 crushed garlic clove
1 apple cored and chopped (keep the skin on)
Can of chopped tomatoes
Can of haricot beans
1 tablespoon tomato puree
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
pinch of black pepper

Cook your sausages under the grill, and in the meantime, heat up a pan with the oil in and fry the onion and garlic, until the onion is tender.
Then add all the other ingredients and cook through for about 15-20 minutes - or until the sausages are cooked under the grill.
Chop up the sausages into quarters then add to the pan and cook for a further few minutes.
We served ours with sweet potatoes.
