Nothing screams comfort like a sausage casserole and there is nothing better than coming back from work to a big bowl with some creamy mash in a giant yorkie! This one is packed with lots of spring veggies which are in season at the moment! It’s a lot cheaper to get the ingredients when they’re in season, you may notice they’re on clubcard or may feature in the super 6 but they’re also a great way of supporting local farmers whilst also getting maximum vitamins and minerals when they’re at the peak 🥰 This version serves two, it’s super easy as the only thing you need to do is chop the veg and brown off your sausages. I used Porky Whites Premium Chicken Sausages as we love these, but any sausage would work!
Recipe created and cooked by Nutritionist Molly Cunningham
For the casserole:
- Start by browning off your sausages and set aside
- To your slow cooker add your sausages, veg, tomato puree, seasonings and veg stock and leave on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8
- 20 minutes before the end, add your gravy granules, I used chicken and give this a good stir until thick
For the Yorkshire puddings:
- Add oil to your circular trays and place in the air fryer or oven at 200 degrees for 10 mins to heat the oil up.
- Mix all the ingredients well in the bowl and divide equally between the two trays and air fry at 200 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
- Don’t open the draw until after 15 minutes as it helps to make sure it rises. You can also do this in the oven!
Place your giant Yorkshire pudding on a plate or bowl and serve with some soft and creamy mash and a generous helping of the casserole. Dig in!
