Sausage mash, but in a dish, baked in the oven.

Brown off sausages with chopped onion, crumble in a vegetable stock cube.
Transfer to baking dish, pour over a tin of baked beans. Put mashed potato on top. Cover with foil, in oven for 30 mins. Remove foil, top with butter or grated cheese. Leave foil off and back in oven for five minutes, or until cheese has melted or golden on top. Serve with crusty French bread and HP sauce or ketchup.

Inspired by this thread I made this for dinner: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2006/feb/26/foodanddrink.shopping1

Lovely braised leeks, mushrooms and pork shoulder, finished off with a bit of cream and green peppercorns (though I couldn't find any so I used capers instead). Crusty baguette, bit of rocket on the side - perfect autumnal warmer!!

It just needed an apple crumble to follow but I didn't have time tonight - next time!!

Nigel Slater: Bubbling wonder

Sometimes even the most controlling of cooks need do no more than put the lid on a pot of meat and herbs. Nigel Slater on the joys of casserole cooking.
