Method

  1. Cook the sausages. Heat the oil over a high-ish heat in a wide shallow pan that has a lid. Put the chopped sausages into the pan and sizzle for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're browned on all sides.
  2. Do the veg and beans. Throw in the onion, carrots and celery (not the leaves) and cook for 5 minutes until the onion looks see-through. Tip in the beans, give a good stir, then pour in the stock and bring to the boil, stirring. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender.
  3. Finish the dish. Stir in the mustard and parsley with any chopped celery leaves, then season to taste with salt and pepper. (The bangers and beans may now be frozen - whole or as single portions - for up to two months.) Serve hot, with chunks of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

    Made this yesterday and it was delicious - the mustard gives it a lovely flavour and creamy textures. Very very easy to make too, and tasted even better the next day! Will definitely become a regular dish.

    I've made this a number of times now. It's very easy, tastes great and good for work leftovers. My daughter loves it too. Makes sausages seem healthy! I particularly like it with organic chipolatas.

    A firm favourite. I substituted baked beans for the mixed beans and rather than mustard I added some smoked paprika. Also used some plain flour before adding the stock to thicken it up. Absolutely fabulous!

    I wasn't sure about this at first as it didn't look too nice in the picture but it was actually really tasty-much better than it looks! I served it with some crusty bread to mop up all the tasty juices.

    Used 2 tins of Heinz 5 Beanz and a can of water instead of stock. Didn't require any extra seasoning although paprika could work well. Tastes delicious, really easy to make and extra points for being freezable.
