  A really tasty alternative, I accompanied it with mustard mash, sugar and balsamic roasted carrots and onion gravy. My batter didn't rise, but I think that was my own fault and it was lovely anyway!

  Very tasy dish even though mine did go a bit soggy. Might try it again with less milk as I use lactose free milk which never seems to thicken in sauces, etc.

  Oh. My. Goodness. Utterly gorgeous! I have always had tasteless gooey toad-in-the-hole fed to me when I was a child and have avoided this dish like the plague ever since. However when I saw this recipe I wanted to give it a try as my hubby and son love this kind of thing. Served it up with roast potatoes, peas and gravy and was devoured within minutes. Good cheap, easy dish that will be a firm family favourite from now on! Highly recommended! Now off to share this on my Facebook page...

  I tried this last night, exactly to recipe, and it was delicious. Not soggy at all and the batter was lovely and light. Will definitely do it again (and again!)

  Cooked this for my parents tonight. They loved it!!! As my mum is a vegetarian I substituted 2 of the sausages for quorn ones and put some red onions in a small dish, and with a small amount of batter made a mini one for her. I ended up using the batter mixture between 3 serving, 1 veg (2 quorn) and 1 meat (4 sausages). We be big eaters. This is a lovely light and very tasty meal. Not soggy at all! Will be making this again, numerous times if my dad has anything to say about it.

  I changed this recipe slightly by using vegetarian sausages. Adding the the red onion and tyme was a nice changed to traditional toad in the hole. The batter was very light and the bottom of this dish was very soggy. If i made it again, i think I would make a thicker batter :- /

  Very yummy, my fiance really liked it. The batter was soggy, i think the oil needs to be sizzling before you poor in the mix. We had a tiny amount of gravy (yummy) but not on the soggy batter which finished it off. Will definitely make it again, fingers crossed its crispy!

  Low fat sausages? I don't think so. If you really want to enjoy this, use some with a high meat content as other reviewers have suggested. I make mine with garlicky Toulouse sausages. We love it because of the fact that the batter won't rise, giving you that lovely sticky, suety consistency. However, a little tip for those who are not keen on a "soggy bottom" do not add ready made mustard or thyme to the batter instead add a little dry mustard powder to the flour when sifting and put the thyme into the roasting dish just before pouring in the batter. For a more even result I use an oven proof lasagne type dish rather than a tin as it looks nicer on the table.
