Warming Sausage Casserole
By iVillager springdragon

This was one of my favourites as a little girl. Just the smell of it round the house makes your mouth water. Now I use veggie sausages and korma soup, but this is the original winter warmer recipe.

Serves 4 - 6
25g margarine

450g potatoes
2 large carrots
2 large onions
1 large can baked beans
1 large can mulligatawny soup
8 sausages

1. Grease a large casserole dish with the margarine.
2. Thinly slice potatoes, carrots and onions.
3. Arrange half the potatoes in a layer in the greased dish.
4. Cover with half the onions, all the carrots, the rest of the potatoes, then the rest of the onions.
5. Pour the can of beans over the layers. Arrange the sausages on top, then pour the soup over them.
6. Put a lid on the casserole (or greased foil) and bake on 180C/350F/gas mark 4 for 2 1/2 hours until the veg is tender and the sausages are cooked.
7. Needs nothing with it, but works rather well with chunks of crusty bread.
