Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
  • 12 Sausages Carefully pricked with a fork or sharp knife
  • 6 Rashers of Bacon Roughly Chopped
  • 1 Onion Finely diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 400 g Chopped tomatoes
  • 300 ml Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Puree
  • Splash Henderson’s Relish
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 150 ml Red Wine
  • 1 Tin Butter Beans Drained
  • Pinch Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan, or cast iron dish on the hob.
  • Gently fry the sausages for 5-10 minutes until browned, you might find it easier to do this in two batches.
  • Remove the sausages from the dish and set them to one side.
  • Fry the onions and garlic for 5 minutes until soft.
  • Add the bacon and fry until lightly browned.
  • Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, wine, paprika, tomato puree, Henderson’s, sugar, thyme, and bay leaves, and stir.
  • Return the sausages to the dish.
  • Bring to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the beans and a pinch of salt and pepper, stir and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

Notes

  • We use plain pork sausages and butter beans, but change these for your favourites .
  • If making without wine, add extra chicken stock.
  • I serve my Sausage and Bean casserole with Mashed potatoes, but other potatoes or bread would work well too.
  • I use a large cast-iron dish like this one. (affiliate link)
  • Simmer for longer if your sauce is still too watery.
