Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 8 Sausages
  • 2 to 3 brown/white onions, chopped roughly
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 5 tbsps ketchup
  • 5 tbsps brown sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash of cooking oil

Method

  • Step 1 : Preheat Your Oven

    The first thing you want to do is preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark4.

  • Step 2 : Add Oil

    Add a dash of oil to the bottom of a casserole pot and heat this to a medium high temperature.

  • Step 3 : Brown Your Sausages

    Then add your sausages, in batches if necessary, and brown them. These do not need to be cooked through but you want a really nice sear on all sides for added flavour (this is due to the Maillard reaction which is when heat interacts with amino acids and sugars found within food). Add a touch more oil and reduce the heat if the sausages start to stick to the pan too much and turn black.

    When browned, remove the sausages, add another dash of oil to the pot, then add your onions.

  • Step 4 : Cook Onions

    Cook your onions for about 10 minutes, stirring thoroughly and adding a dash more oil if they stick to the pan. You want to really soften them to add more flavour to the dish.

    When the onions have really softened, add in your stock and stir thoroughly.

  • Step 5 : Add Ketchup and Brown Sauce

    Add your ketchup and brown sauce, stir thoroughly again. You can taste test at this point and the flavour should be a mix of saltiness, sweetness, and slightly tart. These flavours will mellow out and blend together in the oven.

  • Step 6 : Placed In Oven

    Add your sausages back into the pot, add a lid, then place in the oven for 40 minutes.

  • Step 7 : Serve

    Take out and serve however you see fit.
