Sausage casserole - what do I need?

[NASWM]

I've got the sausages, and carrots, onions and other veg. But how do I turn it in to a casserole?

I know someone can help! Thanks

Fry the sausages in a big saucepan. Take out and add onions and garlic, soften for a bit then add chopped carrots. Return sausages and pour over some chopped tomatoes, or just stock. I lik eot put some sprigs of thyme and a bayleaf in but not essential. Cook for at least an hour. Really nice if towards the end you put in a tin of haricto beans, then just eat with crusty bread and salad.

fab sponge. We are not big cooked tom fans (raw fine - weird I know) so will stock be okay?

I always put a bit of Worcestershire Sauce in mine - gives it a lovely flavour.

Oh no just seen that the sausages went out of date yesterday (15th). Would you risk it? they have been at the bottoom of the fridge, at the very back. Nice and cold there. But dont want to risk poisoning everyone. Especially after the day I've had today.. What would you do?

i'd use them... they're gonna be cooked well.

also you could chuck a tin of baked beans in if you don't have plain haricot beans

I always cheat and use the packet mixes.

thanks for all the ideas. Will poss try to baked beans idea - sounds different ! But I'm not sure I'd want to mix with red wine - seems a waste of wine to me

I put roughly sliced white cabbage in mine too. Goes in last (after sponge's tomatoes) with some water. Comes out yummy and squidgy.

Children haven't realised yet it's cabbage or that it's 'green'

It's in the oven at the mo. Didn't have pan big enough, so did what you all suggested fried up the sausages, the onions/carrots etc then out in casserole with beans and stock. Smells nice we'll have to see how it goes. Would be nice with some creamy mash - except there has been a potato thief in this house :(

I grill the sausages. Then fry onions and mushrooms, add some flour to soak up juices, add lots of red wine and red currant jelly and some stock. Sometimes add tinned chestnuts at the end. Add sausages. Serve with creamy mash and braised red cabbage.

Deffo grill/fry the sausages first. I didn't once and they looked like a dish of limp willies.

ROFL at dish of limp willies!

verdict - a complete success! DS1 even commented during his first mouthful, this is yummy! so thanks everyone!

tassis that sounds interesting what does the jelly add to it?

hi just like to add that redcurrant jelly also makes a yummy addition to ordinary gravy or even to onion gravy

haha I've got wimp willies for tea then Couldn't be ar$£d to grill them, lazy slatten that I am. I do usually though, honest!

We're eating late tonight as kids been out at a friends.

as bambi says, redcurrant jelly makes it yummy!
