Quick & Easy Sausage Casserole



Cooking time: 40 mins
Prep time: 2-5 mins (however long it takes for you to chop up some veg!)
This recipe is one of my favourites because it requires little effort and gives great results. It's adapted from a recipe from the brilliant BBC Good Food Website and can easily be changed around. This time I chose to use beef stock cubes and a few spices & herbs to flavour it and carrots and onions for the veg bit, but you can add whatever you like the make each casserole different. A good casserole is amazing comfort food and I love it with a bit of toast, though it's equally good with mash. Plus, it's another recipe that's fantastically easy to freeze and reheat later

 Ingredients (For about 3 portions):
  • 1 6-pack of any kind of Sausages
  • 1 400g tin of Chopped Tomatoes (these are great for keeping in the cupboard and using in tons of recipes
  • 3-4 peeled and chopped Carrots
  • 1 Onion peeled and chopped
  • Smoked Paprika (lots of people don't use this spice, but it's great for giving a really tasty smoky flavour)
  • A selection of Mixed Herbs (There's tons of different herb mixes that are lovely, I used one of my favourite Herbes De Provence for this - Thyme, Rosemary, Basil, Majoram, Oregano and Tarragon)
  • 1 or 2 Beef Stock Cubes dissolved in 150ml boiling water (or pork stock cubes if you can find them!)
  • Minced Garlic (Or a couple of garlic cloves diced into tiny pieces)
Steps:
  1. Chuck the sausages, chopped onions and carrots and a sprinkle of minced garlic, (tastes great when roasted) into a roasting pan and spread them evenly. Then put them into an oven preheated to 220C for 20 minutes to roast.
  2. While you're waiting, dissolve the stock cubes and mix it with the tomatoes in a jug.
  3. After 20 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and pour over the tomato and stock mix then put the pan back in the oven at 200C for 20 more minutes
  4. Again while waiting, you can toast some bread or prepare something else to eat your casserole with.
  5. Get it out the oven, serve, and savour the taste!
