I love proper food. I mean big, warming plates of food, that make my insides happy. This sausage casserole fills me up for hours and is proper food, plus it doesn’t cost the earth to cook!

The problem I usually have with normal casseroles is that I never have enough time to make them.

I always think it’d be nice to have one but look at the time and realise I’ve only got 30 minutes or so until I need to get the kids’ dinner. Not really enough time to make a standard casserole!

 

However, this dish can be cooked up in around 40 minutes so is quick enough for a school night dinner.

Also, once I’ve done the prep and the sausages are cooked, it’s just a matter of adding the rest of the ingredients and getting on with other things before the alarm rings.

As ever, rather than cheating and use a packet mix, this is just herbs and a little spice.

I can’t really understand why anyone would buy a packet for this…?

You can buy a sausage casserole mix for 98p or buy a whole pot of paprika for 48p.

You can use the paprika again and again to make this recipe or loads of other recipes, and make your money last even longer! There’s no contest.

    Just found you from a news feed about how you started your blog. I like this recipe and have sent it to my daughter, but have added – even cheaper than the butter beans (don’t think she likes them anyway), is a tin of value baked beans, reducing the total cost by about another 20-25p :D

    Great recipes for us on a budget, I like to add mushrooms, use up fridge leftovers & tin of baked beans is good, as kids usually prefer these to kidney beans, so clean plates. Works well in a slow cooker to save on energy. Thanks for great posts!

    The only thing I didn’t have was the mushrooms (and I couldn’t be bothered to go out and buy some), but this casserole still turned out wonderful. Thank you!

      Good to hear it. If I don’t something in the cupboard or fridge I’ll always adjust the recipe too
