Sausage and beef casserole

Having a no-fail casserole recipe in your arsenal is must-have for busy mums. And this is a recipe you can always rely on. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you've got a dinner everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 8 beef sausages

    gluten free

  • 4 bacon

    rind removed and chopped

  • 1 onion

    finely chopped

  • 1 cup red wine

    optional

  • 1 cup beef stock

    gluten free

Equipment

  • 1 non-stick frypan

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick frypan to medium heat, cook sausages, turning frequently for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
  2. Transfer sausages to a plate, slice each sausage into thirds.
  3. Cook bacon and onion in the same frypan until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Return sausages to pan, turn heat to high and pour in red wine (if using), cook for another 5 minutes or until red wine has reduced to about 1 tablespoon.
  5. Add stock, bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir through sauce to thicken.
  7. Serve with creamy mashed potato. To make Shrek’s swamp, spoon some mash onto a plate and use the back of the spoon to make a well in the centre. Fill the 'pool' with the casserole mixture.
