Perfect For a Cold Day

Easy Sausage Casserole

Some meals are comforting, warming and inviting – especially in the winter months. I love sausages. I like them grilled and in Toad in the Hole. But I also love them in a casserole.

Putting sausages in a casserole is not necessarily the most obvious thing to do, but it makes for a very easy and very tasty meal. The sausages are softer than when grilled or baked in the oven and of course, they take on the flavours of the seasoning in your stock, and the leeks. Last time I cooked this sausage and leek casserole, I used some left over stock from this to add to gravy for roast chicken, which was very delicious.

This sausage and leek casserole is a real, comforting, winter warmer. Serve with plenty of mashed potato and mashed swede

Sausage And Leek Casserole

Leeks are in season in the winter months and can add flavour to any dish. This is a dish that can be vegetarian too – just use vegetarian sausages. I made two casseroles at the same time, as I was feeding vegetarians and meat eaters. It is an easy solution when you need to please both! I used Linda MacCartney vegetarian sausages – available in most supermarkets and local health food stores.

When buying meat sausages, I always buy good quality, where possible from a local butcher, Farmers Market or local grocers. I wouldn’t recommend going for budget sausages as unfortunately the quality will probably be poor. You can check the meat content by looking at the small print – or if you buy from a local butcher you can ask! When buying your leeks, don’t just assume the supermarket will be the best place.

You may find greengrocers, Farmers Market or other local shops or stalls sell fresher and lower priced leeks.

Serving Suggestion

I served this meal with mashed potatoes and mashed swede with carrot. These can easily be prepared once the casserole(s) are in the oven. You can leave the casseroles in the oven for longer if you wish – up to about an hour and a half would be fine. The vegetables can be kept warm in the oven too, if required.

If you have a large casserole that can go on the hob and then in the oven – that is ideal

This sausage casserole makes for a delicious winter warming meal for four for under £5

    I have cooked this 3 times now. Thanks so much for the recipe, it’s really easy and delicious! I’m on maternity pay at the moment so trying to eat as cheaply as possible. I added left over kale last time, even more yummy!
