I have 3 pkts of sausages in the freezer. One Lincolnshire, one fat reduced, one just sausages. We don't really LIKE sausages :rotfl: I need ideas please, on how to cook them/hide them/disguise them !:D

Squeeze them out of their casings and make meatballs or stuffing with them? Sausage rolls?

At xmas my hubby always makes a load of extra stuffing and puts it in a loaf tin so that we have a meat loaf as well. I would take sausages out of skins, chop some onions, mushrooms , add some eggs, seasoning and then put in a loaf tin to bake. If it needs bulking up you could add some bread crumbs.

Sausage Stew is lovely :-

Ok ta I dono why I keep buying them when we dont really like them.. in fact I hate them..... But sometimes they're on special offer LOL ! I won't do the meatballs thing because he really hated that and didnt eat it - he eats almost anything. Poor sod, after 40 years of my cooking he's had to...

make meatloaf, I fry off 1 chopped onion, and add to the sausage meat and half a packet of stuffing, add water and mix then into the oven I use a loaf tin, with a knob of butter on top, and cook for about 45 mins!

Help insperation NEEDED!!!

I have 1 bag of "Dried Salad Beans" containing Flagolet, geen split, yellow split, black turtle, haricot beans, brown beans and pinto beans.

I did try them in a salad once but i have to say i wasn't impressed and as such they have stayed tucked at the back of my cuboard for a long long time.

Today i've got them out and im DETERMIND to use them for "something", i've started soaking them which will take most of the day then im thinking of perhaps throwing them into my slowcooker tommorrow but what with? to make what?? i have no idea?

Anyone got any idea's what i can do with them?

Hi leiela,

After soaking you'll need to boil them until they're cooked. What about a mixed bean casserole....lots of recipes here

If you want to add some meat you could use whatever you have available but sausages go well with beans.
