Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe casserole dish or skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Brown the sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden all over. Remove them from the dish and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the casserole dish and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Peel and slice the carrots, dice the red bell pepper, and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Add these to the dish and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Return the sausages to the dish, nestling them into the sauce, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Cover the casserole dish with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes.

Step 10

After 45 minutes, remove the dish from the oven, stir in the frozen peas, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 11

Check that the potatoes and carrots are tender and the sausages are fully cooked. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the sausage casserole hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
