Sausage Casserole

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.

• Ready In: 12 hrs
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  lb sausage
• 1⁄2 lb carrot
• 1⁄2 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.
