Pork Sausage, Pea & Pepper Casserole

This Pork Sausage, Pea & Pepper Casserole is great served over mashed potato

This is really easy midweek supper which you can throw together using ingredients from your freezer and store cupboard. Sausage casseroles are usually a hit with the whole family – you can also try my Tangy Sausage Casserole over here or my vegetable packed Lazy Sausage Casserole over here.

I always have a few packets of pork sausages in the freezer as they are a handy standby. If you don’t feel like making a casserole with the sausages, I’ve published several recipes using pork sausages in different ways on the blog over the years - have a look at my Homemade Pork Sausage Rolls made with an old family pastry recipe over here and see my recipe for Pork Sausages Wrapped in Bacon (did anyone say ‘cholesterol’ ?!) & served in an Onion Gravy over here.


Pork Sausage, Pea & Pepper Casserole

1 pkt Pork Sausages (about 8)
1 pkts Tomato Soup (single serve instant ‘Cup of Soup’ type)
1 tin Peas (+- 400gm)
1 tin Tomatoes, peeled & chopped (+- 400gm)
1 Red Pepper, sliced
1 Onion, sliced
Salt & Pepper – to taste

Lightly brown the sausages in a little oil in a pan. Remove & place in a casserole dish. Make the tomato soup up according to package instructions, pour over the sausages. Scatter the peas, tomatoes, red pepper & onion over. Season to taste. Stir to mix. Place – uncovered – in the oven at 190'C/375'F/Gas Mark 5 and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Serve over mashed potato.
