Winter Warmer Recipe Challenge – Sausage Casserole and Cheesy Two Mustard Potatoes
Boy it’s been cold outside and the perfect weather for a sausage casserole winter warmer recipe.
I was set a challenge to come up with a warming winter
recipe using a selection of products sent to me by Unilever. My recipe is a Sausage Casserole with CheesyTwo Mustard New Potatoes
As I was the winner of a sausage casserole competition
recently and the prize was a new stock of sausages and bacon I naturally
thought of making a different sausage casserole for this challenge.

Sausages get popped into the cast iron frying pan and browned on all sides. I put them into the casserole whilst I cooked the onions and bacon.
As most of my meals start with onion and garlic and a glug of olive oil, I sautéed some thinly sliced
onion and minced garlic.
Into the frying pan I added three onions, peeled and sliced
and cooked until browned along with one packet of back bacon cut into chunks.
When these were ready I added them to the
casserole with the sausages.
In the frying pan I added Knorr beef stock pot and Knorr beef
gravy pot, 1 Tbsp tomato puree, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce and 1 Tbsp Bovril and when warmed through I added it to the casserole. Towards the end of the cooking I
will be adding a good glug of red wine!

Into the oven, covered at 180oC for about 35-45 minutes. If you want to thicken the liquid at this
point you could add some gravy granules.

To serve this I boiled new Charlotte potatoes (unpeeled) and cut into pieces and when
soft I drained them.

Back into the cooking pot (the residual warmth helps keep
the potatoes warm and the butter to melt) and added 3 Tbsp unsalted butter,
salt&pepper and a little bit of milk.

After taking them off the heat I added some grated cheddar

The above was served with carrot batons and made enough to
serve four.

I received a hamper of goodies from Unilever but was not
paid to write this recipe. All recipe

We had some potatoes cooked in a similar way just recently, but we crushed them to make a sort of rough-textured mash. It was lovely! I'm planning to make dish using Toulouse sausages this weekend, and I shall be using a technique a bit like yours, but I shall add a tin of Cannellini beans.
