Sausage Casserole

I know I can just google recipes, but think it's always nice when they come with a recommendation :)

Anyway I'd like to make one tonight as I've got shit loads of sausages that need eating. Ideally I'm going to do it the slow cooker. Any suggestions?
 
My bog standard one is:

Sausages
White onion
Celery
Carrots
Garlic
Thyme
Bayleaf
Parsley
Salt
Pepper
New Potatoes

For the gravy:

Flour
Butter
Beef stock
Red wine

I brown the sausages in a pan and then fry off the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. I put them all in a pot and then add a good chunk of butter to the pan on a medium-low heat. Add enough plain flour to make a roux and cook it off for a few mins so the starch cooks. Add a glug of red wine and let the alcohol cook off. You should have a paste now. Then add beef stock little by little until you have enough cooking liquid. Put the liquid with the sausage and veg and leave on a lowish heat (150/160) in the oven for around an hour/hour and a half.

Once the hour is up I add the tatties cut in half and the fresh herbs. Back in the oven for 20 mins or until the tatties are soft. Season as you like before serving.

Serve with chunky buttered bread and broccoli/green beans :)
 
you really don't need a recipe. par boil whatever root veg you have lieing about, season the fuck out of the remaining liquid and chuck in an oxo cube chuck a load of it in a big pot with the sausages(i like to fry em a bit first) add a tin of tomatoes, some sweet pepper and a glass of wine & put in slow oven, for how ever long you can be arsed to leave it but at least an hour.

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan oven 180°C/gas mark 6). Fry the onion and bacon in the oil until golden. Add the garlic and fry for another minute.
  2. Add the beans, tomatoes, bay leaves, parsley and 100ml water, season and bring to the boil. Turn into an ovenproof dish.

Some lass on Come Dine With Me did sausage trifle.

She lived in Coventry, IIRC. And was an ex glamour model.

Her starter was, basically, mini-sausages and sausage rolls in a finger-buffet style finger buffet.

Her main - IIRC - was sausage casserole.

And for desert, she dished out WHAT LOOKED LIKE ordinary trifle, only with proper fluorescent custard and angel delight. And it turned out to have sausages in it. Real, meat sausages.

Saw that episode (while staying elsewhere - shoot me for not having control of the remote!) and that trifle looked beyond vile.

Better page! http://www.channel4.com/4food/on-tv...ine-with-me-extras/come-dine-with-me-coventry

Though, guttingly,
The guests played spot-the-common-theme when Annierose served up her trifle with a twist - the twist being that it had sausages in it. Unfortunately we can't bring you Annierose's recipe for copyright reasons, so watch the show again on 4oD for the recipe or try this, sausage-less, trifle recipe instead.

And, yes, proper gruesome :D But she clearly believed in it!
 
A couple of tins of chopped tomatoes, some garlic and onions, flaked chillies and kidney beans or butter beans, whatever beans except for baked beans. That's it. Very firm favourite with the three adult men in my house. Works well with chorizo too.
 
Thanks folks...think I'm going to try putting in everything folks have suggested (bar the spuds as I want to serve it with mash)

Going to stick it on now to give it lots of cooking time. :)
 
If you're using a slow cooker make sure the beans are fiercely boiled for at least 15 mins beforehand or you'll get ill, unless you're using tinned beans.
 
Blimey it smell good and still 7 hours till dinner. :)

Thanks for the heads up Mrs Magpie, but I'm cheating and using tinned beans.
 
I'll have to look at that for another time. :)

Proper numpty question now...how long in advance can you peel spuds without them going manky? Heading the pub in a bit and it would nice to come it and just turn the heat on and then mash.

As long as you like really. Just put them in cold water so they don't start to brown.
 
Thanks to this thread I now have this on the go right now :cool: though I substituted celery for red pepper and I added a bit of garlic as well.

Cheers for the idea GS.
 
OH FOR FUCKS SAKE I've just realised I didnt drain the beans before slinging them in. Its going to be slime isnt it. Slime and shit and probably some poisonous stuff in the bean juice I'll only find out about after checking online to try and find out why I'm dying after eating it. And everyone will be like 'you what?! You didnt know that bean juice kills you?! Are you freakin dumb or something!!' and I'll be all like merrh and just die. Great.

Number of chili recipes call for not drained kidney beans, you should be fine.

No, you're fine, it's just brine plus starch and colour leached from the beans, so just have a taste and then season accordingly, because you may not need any salt. :)

Have to admit your post has made me laugh like a drain. :D

BTW, a massive round of applause for the first "will I die if..." post of the new boards!
