Sausage Casserole

Chef #1425198's Note:

This is a winter dish that will warm the cockles of your heart. Preperation is easy & you only use 1 pot to cook it in. No mess or fuss, now thats what I like best about this dish. I made this recipe up as we had some sausages in freezer that needed to be used up.

• Total Time: 12 hrs
• Prep Time: 1 hrs
• Cook Time: 11 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb sausage
• ½ lb carrot
• ½ lb parsnip
• 1 large sweet potato (orange or white)
• 2 large red onions
• 1 large lemon
• 1 bunch bay leaf
• 8 sprigs rosemary
• 1 bunch thyme
• salt & pepper
• 2 pints stock (or gravy to make sauce)

Directions:

1. Slice lemon & place in large roasting tray.
2. Add sprigs of rosemary, bay leaves & thyme on top.
3. Chop carrotts, parsnips & sweet potatoe into large 2inch pieces & place in tray.
4. Add the stock so it just covers the vegetables.
5. Add salt & pepper with a sprinkle of olive oil, cover with aluminium foil & place in hot oven for 1hr.
6. Meanwhile grill sausages, leave to cool on side.
7. Once the vegetables have softened take tray out of oven & add the sausages & place tray back in the oven, if you're happy with the result switch the oven off & leave foil on tray as the steam will continue to cook it slowly.
