It looks a bit dry in the pic, but there is actually a lot of 'hidden' sauceDo you ever have days where you just couldn’t be bothered to cook but still want a wholesome, tasty family meal in a hurry ? Well then, let me introduce you to an old standby of mine … a simple sausage casserole, made with whatever vegetables you happen to have on hand.
I usually serve this with rice or cous cous, and I often keep a toddler sized portion (or two !) back and freeze it for a quick, nutritious meal for a night when we’re eating non child friendly food (i.e. a hot curry!)
Lazy Sausage Casserole
1 pkt of Pork Sausages, cut into pieces
1 Large Onion, chopped
Garlic Cloves to taste, chopped
1 tin of Whole Peeled Tomatoes
1 large Courgette (Baby Marrow), sliced
2 large Carrots, sliced
1 large Potatoe, cubed
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
Mixed Dried Herbs, to taste
Salt & Pepper, to taste
A little water
Mix everything together in a large oven proof dish and bake, uncovered at 190’C/375’F/Gas Mark 5 until done – about 45 minutes to an hour.
You can substitute any of the vegetables as you see fit. You can also add 2 tbsps of tomato paste if you’d like more of a tomato hit. Fresh herbs can also be used in place of dried.
(This tastes delicious cold the next day, too.)
