Ingredients:

6 large sausages (your choice, but pork sausages work great!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato purée
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
250ml chicken or vegetable stock
1 can (400g) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large ovenproof casserole dish, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages and set aside.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the same dish. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, oregano, smoked paprika, and stock. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cannellini beans and return the sausages to the casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the casserole dish with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy your Hearty Hairy Bikers’ Sausage Casserole with family or friends—it’s the flavor of comfort in every bite!
