  • If they refuse to eat what you have already offered them what makes you think they are going to eat anthing we come up with. :confused:

    In that case, I would slice the sausages and fry them to brown them.
    Chop the onions and the mushrooms, fry them too.
    Then pour one of the creamy pasta sauces over them and mix it up.

    Serve with potatoes and cheese if you have it.

    Or since they're pasta bakes, and I've never really used them, you could make a white sauce with flour, butter and milk and do the same thing.
  • I would cube and then par-boil the potatoes, grill the sausages and then chop them up. Mix both together with the creamy pasta sauce and then bake. Grate some cheese on top if you have any. If it needs bulking out, maybe add some par-boiled caulifower too for a potato/cauli cheese type thing!!

    How about telling them to go to the chippy if they don't want to eat what you cooked? Sorry but I couldn't resist, my lot have to like it or lump it at the mo :)
    I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that;) I never ask my family what they want to eat. Obviously I don't continually give them food they hate, but as the cook and food shopper I decide what we eat.

    Anyway, here's a suggestion -cook the sausages, slice. Cook potatoes and chop into bitesized chunks. Fry onions, mushrooms and potatoes together, add sausages and heat through. But quite honestly baked spuds, beans and sausages are less trouble.

  • And yet another like it or lump it ! Mine do not get a choice either - I cook it they eat it, or go hungry.

    A bit late, but I'd suggest a sausage casserole - fry sausages and onions, add to sliced carrots & chopped potatoes, but omit the half tin of chopped tomatoes in this instance. 250ml of water and stock cube. Oven cook at 180C for 2 hours or so.

    Sorry, but I think I left my USB memory stick with my recipes at work.

    PS. Found it! I did this for my Mum and I last weekend, with some Gloucester Old Spot sausages from a local farm shop - fabulous.

    SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

    Serves 2

    INGREDIENTS

    2 carrots
    2 potatoes
    ½ an onion
    1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
    4 sausages*
    200g (½ a 400g tin) of plum tomatoes*
    250ml of water
    1 beef stock cube
    1 teaspoon of parsley
    Ground pepper to taste

    METHOD

    Peel the carrots and cut them into slices. Peel the potatoes and chop them into 2 cm (1 inch) pieces. Peel the onion, cut it in half, chop one half into tiny pieces and save the other half.

    Put the oil in a frying pan on a moderate heat. Add the sausages and onion, and fry for about 5 minutes until the sausages are thoroughly cooked. Stir frequently to stop it sticking.

    Open the tin of tomatoes. Put the juice into a bowl. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the bowl). Put the chopped tomatoes into the bowl. Use half and save the other half.

    Put the sausages and onion, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, water, stock cube and parsley into a large ovenproof dish with a lid. Stir thoroughly. Season with the pepper. Put the lid on the dish.

    Cook in a preheated oven at 150°C, 300°F, gas mark 2 for about 2 hours. Check the liquid level from time to time and top it up if it starts to dry out.

    ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS

    Use mixed herbs instead of the parsley.

    Serve with a green vegetable, or add 100g of peas 15 minutes before the end of cooking.
     
    * Use good quality sausages. The more meat in them the better. There are few tastier foods in the world than a meaty, herby British sausage. There is nothing worse than a bland, mass-produced tube of pink stodge.

    ** Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole.

    Agreed - I come from a time where I ate what I was given! You didn't argue with the mother lest you got no dinner and a boot up your jacksie! :) :rotfl:
