Bean Sausage Hotpot Recipes

Steps:

• In a large casserole, fry the sausages until brown all over - about 10 mins.
• Add the tomato sauce, stirring well, then stir in the beans, treacle or sugar and mustard. Bring to the simmer, cover and cook for 30 mins. Great served with crusty bread or rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 deg C/350 deg F/Gas 4.
• Heat a large flameproof casserole or dutch oven over medium-high heat. If using oil heat and then brown sausages, in 2 batches, about 10 minutes. Drain excess oil/fat if desired.
• Lower heat to medium-low then add onions and cook for 5-6 minutes or until soft.
• While onions are cooking mix all liquid ingredients and sugar in a jug. When onions are ready add contents of jug and bay leaves. Raise heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium, then add sausages and beans. Place in oven for 40 minutes until thick.
• Stir in chopped parsley to serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onion and sausages over a fairly high heat for 8-10 mins, turning the sausages often so they brown all over.
• Add the garlic to the pan with the kidney beans and their sauce. Half-fill one of the cans with water, swirl and then add this to the pan. Stir everything together and bring to the boil. Turn down to simmer and cook for 10 mins, or until the sausages are cooked through. Season and sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Partially cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 10 minutes Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, fry the sausage pieces in a pan for 5 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Add the onion slices to the pan and fry for 5 minutes.
• Return the sausages to the pan with the baked beans, heat through and season to taste. Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish.
• Thinly slice the potato and arrange them on top of the bean mixture, overlapping them. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 10 minutes Remove lid and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium frying pan (one the sausages will fit in fairly snugly). Add the sausages and fry for 8-10 mins, turning them often. Turn the grill to high. Splash a couple of tablespoons of red wine into the pan if you are using it, then pour in the stock and stir in the caramelised red onions. Allow the mixture to bubble for 3-4 mins, so it thickens a little and turns into a rich gravy. Remove from the heat.
• Spread the potatoes so they roughly cover the sausages and gravy. Put the frying pan under the grill for about 8 mins until the potatoes turn crisp and golden. Serve while bubbling and hot - there is no need to add seasoning.
