Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a large casserole dish, then brown the sausages all over. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining oil, tip the veg into the dish and fry for 10 mins. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 1 min more.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Return the sausages to the pan with the beans, thyme and some seasoning, then pour in the stock and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, sprinkle over the breadcrumbs, then bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until the crumbs are golden and the stew is bubbling.

    Very nice. Might not bother again with the breadcrumbs even though that was delicious too. It was nice to have butter beans, as I hardly use them.

    Haven't cooked this yet, but will do, in the coming week. However, it will be with haricot beans and chopped tomatoes, rather than baked beans.

    Just wondered if anyone has tried freezing this dish, and if so, at what point is the best to do so? Thanks

    Good midweek meal but wouldn't rush to make it again. Served with crusty bread.

    Really lovely but again we didn't use the baked beans, used a can of mixed beans instead and added extra tomato.

    Made this using finest sausages, with tomato and basil, it was really yummy, my husband wasnt too keen on all the beans but i loved them, as did my 5 year old daughter, the breadcrumb topping gave the dish a real rustic style, i froze leftover's and saved a bowl of just the beans for the next day, which is a meal in itself, would most definately make again, maybe change the sausage flavour.

    This is an absolute winner, and it freezes well too. Delicious, just as it is.

    Delicious!! So tasty, a great midweek supper with minimal effort, would suggest a bit longer on the hob though my veg was ever so slightly crunchy, otherwise beautiful!

    SCRUMPTIOUS!! Seriously easy to make. I didn't bother with breadcrumbs, just served it with wholegrain rice. The veg & bean casserole part was delicious! My 11 year old had three helpings - need I really say any more? :-)

    I cooked it for 2 people and used one tin of curried mixed beans which added a little zing. Easy and tasty.

    Really tasty-I used Toulouse style sausages and they were delicious. I also added new potatoes and slightly more stock than the recipe stated to make it a complete one pot meal.

    Really enjoyed this recipe exactly as instructed, but, might add a little more liquid next time as we love to mop up all the lovely juices with some crusty bread.
