Sausage casserole recipe (merged)

aitch-aitch

I made sausage casserole last week with some really cheap sausages and it went down a treat. Just chuck the following in a casserole dish:-

1. Sausages (I chop these into 4 or 5 pieces), I don't brown them as like them "mushy"
2. Tin of tomatoes
3. Tin of baked beans
4. Tin (s) of other beans (e.g. kidney, butter, black eyed etc) - drain and washh them before chucking in
5. Stock cube (I use chicken but any will do)
6. Water to cover plus about 1cm
7. 1 onion (chopped)

Place in oven (gas 5 or 180c) for at least an hour (taste nicer the longer you cook it)
Hope this helps

Sausage casserole is very good also with lots of root veg (swede, carrot, parsnip, turnip, celeriac etc...), available in autumn and "over" available in winter (you can have just TOO many parsnips in a season, when you get the organic weekly boxes!).

Chop all veg you got, fry a couple of onions, chuck veg and chopped sausages, add water and a stock cube or two, squirt of tomato puree (no need for tomato puree if you add baked beans as they are already tomatoey). If you have any leftovers red wine dregs, these go very well with the casserole, the same if you can find some sage and rosemary. Add water to cover.

Cook everything to a mush and eat with crusty bread!

Buon appetito

yes you can make bread without a breadmaker, look at your pack of dried yeast and it will tell you the mix. However you can also make bread without yeast (sourdough). As for your casserole, I would grill the sausages first(lay them on tinfoil under the grill and save the lard that comes out of them)

You can also make a very quick type of non-yeast bread called soda bread, google for the recipe, there must be millions in the web!

I'm doing a sausage casserole for supper tonight. I do it the same way as aitch-aitch and Caterina

You most certainly can bake bread without a breadmaker. Not only is it easy it is also faster and more time-efficient because you can bake more than one loaf at a time in the same time it takes to make one. I do 4 at once and store them in the freezer. This thread will help

Hi there :beer: We have an existing thread on sausage casserole. I'll add this thread to that one to keep ideas together

If you prefer - sausage casserole in the slow cooker

going to make a sausage casserole is it better in the sc or the old fashioned way, I worry that they go too soggy in the sc, even if browned, and its not like normal meat that tenderises in the sc, any opinions?

must say, i prefer mine in the old fasioned way- slow cooker is handy though if I have a day out & want dinner ready when I get back.

I make mine like Caterina with browned sausages and plenty of root veg, but with a tin of chopped toms and an optional tin of beans (baked, butter beans or whatever you fancy) I also add a glug of cider, a spoon of honey and a spoon of grainy mustard to make the gravy more interesting.

We have loads of cooking apples at the moment, so I chucked one in, peeled and chopped which added a bit more flavour.

Three good quality jumbo sausages from our butcher costs less than a quid and makes four huge portions!
