Not exciting, but anyone prepared to share their sausage casserole recipe with me?

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

I've got a lot of sausages .

[marthamoo]

Brown sausages.

Throw in casserole with jar of sausage casserole sauce.

Cook.

Serve with mountain of fluffy mashed potato.

[amynnixmum]

Colmans do a nice packet mix. My children like baked beans in it.

[doggiewalker]

Brown the sausages as you do not want pasty looking things.

Fry onions/pepper/celery/garlic at same time in same pan. Add water to cover, also tin of tomatoes and a few herbs.

Stick in oven for an hour or so. Serve with mash OR controversially - pasta!

[marthamoo]

Pasta? Pasta? No I'm sorry, it has to be mash. Sling in some red wine too and drink the rest of the bottle when the kids have gone to bed.

[BubblesDeVere]

My very basic one, which the kids go mad about is, do the sausages on the george foreman, when cooked put on the bottom of a casserole dish, put some mushrooms on and then put some potato on the top and pour on gravy and wang in the oven till tatties are cooked.

The tatties are soft underneath and have soaked up the gravy and are crispy on top like roast tatties, yum.

[skeptic]

We are having sausage casserole tonight. I would have cooked a proper meal, but have wasted the whole day here being a sleuth.

It's going to be Sausages Tonight, I'm afraid. And mash, if I can get one of my slaves to peel the spuds.

[amynnixmum]

Same here Skeptic except that we're having pizza. My computers been on all day!

[hoxtonchick]

pre-heat oven to 190 deg C

fry an onion & some garlic in oil.

blend in a tablespoon of flour & cook for a minute.

mix in 1 tin of tomatoes & 1 chopped green pepper. add a shake of worcester sauce, a bayleaf & a teaspoon of marmite. simmer for about 10 minutes.

chop up some sausages & add them to the mixture. put it all into a casserole dish. mix beadcrumbs & grated cheese & sprinkle on top. dot with butter.

For "posh" sausage casserole go to Deliaonline.co.uk - she has a great recipe called braised sausages in red wine - gorgeous and suitable for Sunday lunch or dinner party with mash and braised red cabbage!

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Yummm.

Thanks for all these - my mouth is watering.

[GeorginaA]

Puff - you got a slow cooker?

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

No, I keep wondering whether to buy one - do you use yours a lot Georgina?

[moondog]

Oooh Puff, you don't want to be eating sausages.
You know what's in them don't you? Ears and arseholes. Sorry, but it's true.

[GeorginaA]

At least once a week. I'll post my slow cooked recipe anyway just for the hell of it

Ingredients
1lb sausages
1 medium onion, diced
2 large carrots, chopped
3 large potatoes, cut into pieces
1 leek, sliced
150g baby mushrooms
1 red pepper, sliced
half a pint of pork stock
squirt of tomato puree
cornflour to thicken
Method

1. Brown the sausages for ten minutes in a frying pan
   
   
2. Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker, except the cornflour.
   
   
3. Cook in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low.
   
   
4. When ready to serve, mix a couple of tablespoons of cornflour with some water in a cup, then pour the resulting mixture into the casserole. Simmer on stove until sauce is required thickness
   
   Serves: 3-4 depending on appetite.

I'm very tempted by this at lovely Lakeland It's a slow cooker, rice cooker and steamer in one. Been tempted to get a slow cooker for ages and my bf has a rice cooker and says she wouldn't be without it.

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Moondog . Nice to see you back.

I'm partial to the odd ear or arsehole as long as they're organic and from my lovely butcher round the corner.

[frogs]

Mine starts off the same as hc , except minus the flour and the marmite. Marmite?! What's that about?

At the frying onions and garlic stage, you can add in a little (a knife tip) of chilli flakes, available from ethnic supermarkets. I then fry up any other vegetables that are going in (leeks, carrots, courgettes, anything), and then fry the sausages too for a minute (chopped up or whole).

Add tomatoes, red wine, or any other stock that needs to be used up, a dash of worcester sauce and a spoonful or two of English mustard. And a bayleaf.

Bake in oven on lowish heat (150+, depending on how much of a hurry you're in) for between 40 minutes to an hour, depending on the temperature.

Serve with mash, obviously...

[moondog]

Well yes....AND providing that the pigs in question were breastfed as piglets
Happy New Year!!

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

That sounds GOOD Georgina.

I'm tempted too marthamoo. Might use it more than the giant George Foreman that's gathering dust at the mo .

[marthamoo]

You can get chilli flakes from non-ethnic supermarkets too - Tesco do 'em Treat with caution though - they are hot, hot, hot!

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

lol moondog .

[hoxtonchick]

sorry frogs, have i scared you ? it was my mum's recipe from when we were kids so i have happy memories of it. tempted by yours now though. guess what we're going to eat tonight?

[karenanne]

another easy basic one here .
brown a pack of sausages in a pan chop into 2' chunks transfer to a ovenproof dish add a few rashers of crispy bacon cut into pieces and some fried onions.add a few splashes of worcester sauce and 2 cans of own brand baked beans.
just pop on low in the oven till cooked.
we absolutley love this ,esp my dd ,its cheap and really nice with some chunky fried potatoes.

[marthamoo]

I gave my George Foreman away - was a Christmas pressie and I never saw the point of it. What's wrong with the grill?

[GeorginaA]

marthamoo - that looks a good one. Can you take the slow cooker bit out and cook on the stove though? I have to say that's a big win with mine (a morphy richards - only unfortunately a model not made any more).

Mind you, the one you're looking at is a Tefal - and I've never owned a bad product from Tefal.
