Bangers and Beans Casserole
Two kinds of beans, tomatoes, sausage and stock are the basic ingredients. How simple can this get? It is a classic winter warmer to fill you up after a long day at work or in the cold and just hit the spot.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. chilli powder (leave out if the little ones haven't got the taste buds round it yet)
- 1 tbsp. ground pepper
- Low calorie cooking spray
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes
- 1 can of baked beans
- 1 can of kidney beans
- 150ml vegetable stock OR 150ml beef stock
- 6 thick sausages cut into four segments each
The Not-So Nitty Gritty
- Heat the casserole dish on the hob and add in the cooking spray, chilli powder and ground pepper.
- Add the chopped sausages into the dish and keep moving them around the dish until a light brown and are evenly covered in the powders.
- Once a light brown, add the stock, kidney beans, baked beans and tomatoes and stir in thoroughly. Replace the lid on the dish.
- Leave for around 30 minutes, stirring regularly so it doesn't stick.
- Serve into four dishes, ideal with jacket potatoes!

It is a fun, shared page where everyone can post pictures and recipes of what they are cooking, very useful when you are stuck for ideas on what to do the family for dinner. I would recommend a look.
The lady who set up the page also did a similar recipe to this that I thought you may all like to try, so I have copied and pasted below, other recipes are available on her page under the files section.
- Sausages (However many one desires)
- Poi lentils (However many one desires)
- Risotto rice
- 1 can of baked beans
- A good squeeze of tomato puree
- Passata (I tend to use half a bottle or a whole small carton)
- 1 chopped large onion
- Handful of mushrooms
- Couple of carrots
- 3 garlic cloves
- Chilli flakes and black pepper
As I said it is a very loose recipe.
Technique
- Dice garlic, mushrooms, carrots and onion and fry in a large oven proof dish until onion become transparent.
- Add sausages and brown.
- Add as many chilli flakes as one desires along with a good twist of black pepper.
- Add your passata and tomato puree and leave to simmer for a few minutes.
- Top up with boiling water so that all ingredients are covered.
- Add lentils and rice.
- Pop in a pre-heated oven (150) for 1 hour and 15 mins. Keep checking your casserole cookers. You don't want the bad boy to burn.
