- STEP 6Pour the chopped tomatoes on top of the sausages.
- STEP 7Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the heat and drain. Then mash them with the butter/margarine and milk until there are no lumps.
- STEP 8Put the mashed potato on the top of the onions, bacon, sausages and chopped tomatoes, using a fork to make a pattern in the top.
- STEP 9Place in the oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until heated through and browned on top. Enjoy!
