Are you a fan of Mediterranean flavours? Take a look at our Spanish Style Chicken and Potatoes. Another one pan meal that is perfect for midweek dinners. Quick dinner ideas for weeknights are what we are all after, right? This sausage casserole is one of my favourite recipes! It relies on the most regular ingredients that are found in most homes like sausages, canned tomatoes and beans. Then it surprises and excites us with slightly more exotic things like smoky chorizo and canned artichokes. Both are still easily accessible and affordable since you will need only a tiny amount. But that small amount immediately bumps the flavour to the next level. Are you interested?
Easy sausage casserole
It’s tough to say where sausage casserole because different versions of it are found in so many different culinary culture. And why wouldn’t it? It’s such a simple idea, using common ingredients, and a great way to combine available, affordable ingredients into a hearty meal. It’s also as versatile as a recipe comes. The same basic idea can be adapted to use whatever ingredients you have available. I’ve used my favourites in this recipe, but this is definitely one to make your own! My recipe can’t be traced to any specific country. I’ve used a British sausage, Spanish chorizo and plenty from Italy as well. But that’s just part of what makes this dish so great!
How to make it
This casserole is a snap to make and requires very little effort.
Serving Suggestions
Since this sausage bake contains both sausages and beans, you can simply add good crusty bread and a side salad and have yourself a fabulous meal. This sausage casserole is also saucy and you know what that means. It lends itself beautifully to be poured over rice or couscous. Both are extremely easy to make but couscous definitely wins when it comes to the ease and speed of preparation. I also love serving with a bit of fresh bread, either classic Dutch oven bread or my tasty garlic bread!
Storage and Leftovers
Got some leftovers? You’re in for a treat. Sausage casserole can improve with a bit of time for the flavours to meld. That makes this a great dish if you want to make a bit extra to serve the next day! This casserole does extremely well when frozen. It reheats well and doesn’t lose in the quality department one bit. You can keep it for up to three months, and allow to defrost completely before reheating. It will also store in the fridge for 4-5 days in an airtight container or under plastic wrap.
