Sausage casserole

I'm a few days behind at the moment due to a spectacular BT fail. We've been without broadband and a landline since Wednesday morning. Luckily it all came back on today but it's been a very strange experience.

This is one of my favourite comfort food meals. It's like a tarted up jacket potato with beans really but it's so much more than that. Again the PP values can be tweaked depending on what you have to play with. I still have quite a few PP to play with so I can be more generous but you can use lower PP sausages or just fry light (shudder) if you wish to reduce values further.

SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
serves 4 at 8pp per serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 clove of garlic crushed
250g mushrooms sliced thickly
8 reduced fat sausages (I have used both Waitrose extra lean and Tesco Butchers 1/2 fat for 5pp per 2)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Good shake of mixed herbs
Squirt of tomato puree
1-2 cans chopped tomatoes depending how much sauce you like. I always used two cans.
S&P to taste
400g can baked beans

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the vegetables. Cook until soft and remove to a bowl.
Add the sausages to the pan and brown, then add the veg back to the pan.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, herbs, puree and tomatoes and simmer until the sauce is thick and reduced.
Season to taste and add the beans for the last 5 minutes.

I served this with a a 250g raw weight baked potato for 5pp and 20g of Cathedral City light cheese for another 2pps
