I've been Money Tipped!

Been going through the freezer and come across a pack of beef sausages from the butchers which we bought in the summer. BBQ weather looks to be over so i've took them out the freezer. Can't be seperated so i'm gonna have to cook the lot tomorrow.

The plan is to make a couple of dishes of something then freeze. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I don't have a slow cooker.

Just under 1k, around 14-15 beef sausages I think.

I'm only working on a night this week and my days are free so instead of going out spending money I don't have i'm trying to get some meals sorted. Never bulk cooked till yesterday when I made my first ever soup (apart from broth) :o

Hope i'm not getting on everyones nerves with all my threads/questions :o

    What about peeling off the skins then chopping into meatballs?

    Did this with a pack of sweet chilli sausages on Sunday (from the freezer), chopped up some onion, garlic and carrot and softened that for a bit, then tipped that lot out of the pan and turned the heat up, browned me 'balls, veggies back in, carton of Ald!s 35p passata, a bit of black pepper and a squidge of T3so value tomato puree. Simmered away while I cooked some spaghetti. Was v nice indeed! Would probably freeze ok too. :)

    Make a big batch of sausage and bean casserole. I chop the sausages into 4 but you can leave them whole. tinned tomatoes, whatever spice/herbs you want and tin of beans. Can serve with mash, mix in with pasta or top jacket spud :) very freezeable and quite easy.

    Defrost the sausages cook them all and then refreeze the one you are not ready to use.

    I can highly recommend this recipe by the Frugal Queen, it is absolutely delicious.

    Questions are good, they get us all thinking and remind us of recipes we have forgotten about so definitely not annoying :D

    Even with decent sausages you seem to get a lot of fat in them, so when i'm using them to make a curry or casserole in the SC, i'll cook them first by boiling in a pan of water, let all the fat come out then chop the sausage before they go in the SC. The fat i'll boil the water away and put the fat into old newspater before going in the bin .............. never put it down the drain.

    Hairy Bikers sausage casserole always goes down well in our house - bit like a chilli with sausages.

    That hotpot recipe looks gorgeous! I really enjoy reading Frugal Queens blog, especially since the newer posts on A Girl Called Jack blog aren't the same as they used to be, and a lot less often these days.
