I love sausages, so this really appealed...and it looks delicious! It's a perfect comforting and warming dish to make when entertaining family or friends.
Make ahead and then all you need to do on the night is reheat the casserole and serve it with cheesy garlic bread or some crusty bread - job done!!
Tips
- Make ahead - this sausage casserole recipe can be made up to 3 days ahead. Keep it covered and chilled in the fridge, then reheat until piping hot throughout.
- Freezable - any leftovers can be frozen in airtight containers.Defrost before reheating either on the hob or in the microwave.

Spanish
At the heart of Spanish cooking are iconic dishes like paella, a flavourful rice dish often made with seafood, chicken, or rabbit, and tapas, small plates of appetisers that showcase a variety of tastes and textures, from patatas bravas (fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce) to gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). You'll find all of these and more in this delicious selection of Spanish recipes!!
How to make this Sausage Casserole
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 150g diced pancetta
- 16 pork sausages
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 3 red and 3 yellow peppers, deseeded and cut into large slices
- a pinch of salt
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
- 2 tsp mild chilli powder
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
- finely grated parmesan, to serve, plus the rind for cooking
- 400g tin butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 400g tin cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 400g tin borlotti beans, drained and rinsed
To serve (optional):
- cheesy garlic bread
- shop bought or homemade crusty bread
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large (at least 5 litre) flameproof casserole over a medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for a few minutes until the fat has rendered and it's starting to crisp. Remove onto a plate and set aside. Add the sausages, in batches, and fry in the pancetta fat until browned all over (approx. 5 minutes per batch). Remove to the plate with the pancetta. Once the sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into 3 or 4 pieces.
- In the same casserole dish, add the onions and peppers with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until softened and the onions are translucent. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the spices and tomato puree and cook for another minute. Then add the tins of chopped tomatoes. Fill up one of the tins with water and pour this in too. Add the parmesan rind and return the pancetta and sausages to the casserole. Then add all the beans and simmer gently for 45 minutes. Remove the parmesan rind before serving the casserole with cheesy garlic bread or crusty bread, and garnished with grated parmesan.
