About This Recipe
A casserole is a great way of cooking for lots of people very easily. Making any Casserole is most often a one pot recipe and a great idea for an easy mid week meal.
You can buy casserole mixes, ready made from the supermarket but doing it this way you get to create an individual flavour and use up any left over ingredients such as Sausages, Beans, Vegetables etc.
A Sausage and Bean Casserole is easy to make and a true family favourite, I like to serve this with some homemade Mashed Potato.

What is a Sausage Casserole
A sausage casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that typically features sausages as the primary protein, combined with a variety of vegetables, legumes, and often a rich sauce or broth.
This one-pot meal is known for its versatility, allowing for the inclusion of ingredients such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and bell peppers, which not only enhance the flavor but also contribute to the nutritional value of the dish. The sausages, which can be made from pork, beef, chicken, or even plant-based alternatives, are usually browned before being added to the casserole, imparting a savory depth to the overall flavour.
The dish is then slow-cooked, allowing the ingredients to meld together, resulting in a satisfying and filling meal that is perfect for family gatherings or casual weeknight dinners. Sausage casserole can be seasoned with herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika, to elevate its taste, making it a beloved choice in many households.

ingredients
1 Brown Onion
30g Butter
15ml oil
25g Flour
45g Tomato Paste
400ml Boiling Water
Seasoning
1 Beef stock Cube
1 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Dry Sage
1/2 tsp Dry Oregano
1 tsp Garlic Salt
1/2 tsp Cuming Powder
2 tsp Soft Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Chilli Powder (Optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Using a cast Iron oven pot (Dutch Oven) melt the butter on a low heat then slowly cook the sausages until lightly browned (I like to cut the sausages in half for this)
- While the sausages are cooking, slice up the brown onion then cook it with the sausages for 5 minutes so that it is soft.
- Make up the seasoning by adding all of the seasoning ingredients into a jug then make this up to 400ml with boiling water.
- When the sausages are browned, remove them from the pot with a pair of chef’s tongs and set them aside in a container.
- Add the extra 15ml of oil to the onions (Add a splash more if they look a bit dry)
-
Add the flour to the pan of softened onions and make a thick Roux. Then whisk in the 400ml of stock until it thickens.
- Add the Tomato Paste and mix the sauce together.
- At this stage you can put the cooked sausages back into the casserole and combine them into the sauce so that they are fully covered.
- Put the lid on the pot and cook in a pre-heated oven @180c for 1hr.
- In this recipe I am using a mini oven / Air-fryer so I have adjusted the cooking time and temperature to 55m @ 160c.
I have used Pork sausages for this recipe, but you could try other varieties of sausage. I have listed a few below.
I have made this recipe with 1/4 tsp of Chilli Powder to give it a bit of a warm kick.
