Sausage and Bean Hot-pot
My children love sausages, if it contains sausages they are guaranteed to eat it. It’s because of this that I have developed many recipes that use the beloved yet humble sausage. I buy the regular thin beef sausages (also known as BBQ sausages). My children don’t seem to care for the fancy style sausages, they love the beef ones that I can regularly get on sale.
When sausages are on sale I buy in bulk. I cook all of them up and freeze cooked sausages in lots of 12. When I am having a busy day I know that I have a parcel of cooked sausages in the freezer ready to be transformed into a meal in minutes.
This recipe only takes 15 minutes to make, great for when you are running late or the kids are hungry and need dinner now! Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
Recipe:
2 tablespoons oil
10-12 cooked sausages, sliced into coins
1 onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
100g chopped ham or bacon
2 garlic cloves, crushed (2 teaspoons)
425 g tin diced tomatoes
425g tin Campbell’s Tomato Soup
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Smokey Paprika
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
425g tin bean mix (I like the 3 or 5 bean mixes available)
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons of Gravox
1/2 cup water
In a large frypan heat the oil and fry the onions and carrots for 2 minutes.
Add the garlic and fry until fragrant.
Add the sausages and ham/bacon and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the Campbell’s Tomato Soup and the tomatoes. Use the 1 cup of water to rise out the tow cans and add the water to the frypan (don’t waste anything!)
Turn the heat down to low, add the smokey paprika, worcestershire sauce, peas and corn. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the bean mix (I always rinse mine first through a collinder).
Mix the Gravox with the 1/2 cup of water and add to the frypan.
Stir well and simmer for a further 2 minutes.
Serve
Happy cooking!
