We absolutely loved this recipe. I love my tomatoes, so used 4 and added quite a bit of water to make a gravy. I used Oxo bouillon cubes so didn't need to thicken the sauce. We'll come back to this recipe often- thanks! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

Made it for PAC 2010. I enjoyed it. I did thicken the gravy a bit with some corn starch which I think it needed and I did use cheese, but I used a gruyere rather than cheddar. I just didn't think the cheddar complimented the sausage and bacon as well. It was good comfort food.

Oh my!!! this was very, very, very, good. My Dh ate most of it himself. I used good butchers sausages, and smoked bacon. I did add a bit of water to make gravy and thickened it with cornstarch, then put my potatoes on top. I didn't use the cheese as grandad does not like cheese, so we had it without, much to my disappointment. But next time, and there will be a next time, we WILL have cheese. Thank you for a fantastic recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2010
