There is nothing more comforting than digging into a hearty dish of sausage casserole – it’s a family winner!!

Who doesn’t love sausages? okay okay I know there is possibly the odd few out there that don’t, but for those that do, what better way to enjoy them, than in a casserole packed with healthy vegetables.

I love to make casseroles or my family. It is a perfect way to get them to eat plenty of vegetables, as trust me, if I put all those vegetables on their own on the plate, chances are my kids won’t eat most of them. However, put them in a casserole or stew like this Sausage Casserole and they will happily scoff the lot – go figure!!!

Whenever my mum used to make a stew or casserole, it involved lots of white buttered bread on the table. That was a hard habit to shift let me tell you and probably exactly why buttered bread is a weakness for me.

If you love your bread too, have you seen this yummy Soda Bread which you can enjoy as part of your HEb? It’s good clean ingredients and great for mopping up all the sauce of a stew or casserole or with that bowl of soup.

I love to bake one of these when I fancy some bread with this Sausage Casserole.

But as bread is a definite weakness for me, I don’t like to have it often. If you are like me, a great way to combat the craving for something starchy like that with your casserole is to serve it alongside some crispy Syn Free Roast Potatoes or these Garlic and Herb Roast Potatoes.

If you are more of a mashed potato kind of person, there is also this Syn Free Mashed Potato and Mashed Sweet Potato.

As for the sausage casserole – the only syns in this recipe is from the sausages you use, a syn free variety isn’t to be found here in Canada, so I make do with some low syn turkey sausages when I make this.

Then of course it contains all the lovely speed vegetables that are going to keep you fuller for longer – butternut squash, carrots, tomatoes, pepper and because I think any kind of beans are great in a casserole, I also like to add in some butter beans. You can literally add any beans of you choosing, that was what I had on hand.

I love recipes that are good for freezing and this is definitely one of those kind of dishes. Although unless I make a bigger pot by doubling up the recipe there is rarely any leftovers to freeze.

As well as stove top or in a slow cooker – You can  also cook this Sausage Casserole in an Instant Pot (a multi function Pressure Cooker and one of my most used kitchen items). This is one of the best things I have ever bought and I use it almost daily in one way or another.

It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute’s, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven’t tried that yet). Hey I even cook my boiled eggs in this, you should see how effortlessly they peel.
