1. Heat a large non-stick frying pan, then brown the sausages for 3-5 mins over a high heat. Drain the beans, then add to the pan with the chopped tomatoes, herbs and sugar. Season well and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, coating the beans.

Adding sugar

Adding a little sugar to a tomato-based sauce brings out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes. It's also a great way to perk up under-ripe fresh tomatoes.

  I have made this several times with the chipolatas and with vegetarian sausages. Once I accidentally bought mixed beans in tomato sauce so I just left out the sugar. Definitely a family favourite.

  It's a long time since i've cooked anything as visually unappealing as this. It looked like slop - everything swimming in the tomato juice. Good for students i suppose but there must be some very easily pleased people out there - either that or i'm not as bad a cook as i thought!! Would have been a waste of the lincolnshire sausages i was going to use in it - glad i only used veggies - do yourself a favour - give this a miss i'm only giving it a one star in case it won't let me give it none - frankly i'd give it a minus.

  Quick, simple and tasty. I only used one can of chopped tomatoes and used mixed beans in a spicy, tomato sauce.

  Oh dear, this wasn't very nice at all but that may be down to my lack of cooking skills and cheapo sausages!

  Hmmm not very appealing if you follow the recipe exactly...although to make it much nicer, i added a chopped fried onion, crushed garlic and thickened it with some gravy granules...lovely with some buttery mash and doesnt add to the cost too much if you are on a budget :)

  I halved the recipe and added a chopped onion and some garlic, but it was still quite bland.
