Mary Berry Sausage Casserole

Mary Berry Sausage Casserole
Print Recipe

Mary Berry Sausage Casserole is a one-pot dish where sausages are browned, then gently simmered with onions, vegetables, beans, tomatoes, and stock. Unlike fast pan dishes, this casserole relies on time to soften the vegetables and allow the sauce to thicken naturally. The result is a rich, spoonable meal that feels both hearty and balanced.

Ingredients

  • High-quality sausages (with a high meat content) – 8 sausages (about 500 g)

  • Olive oil – 1 tablespoon

  • Onion – 1 large, chopped

  • Garlic cloves – 2, crushed

  • Carrots – 2 medium, sliced

  • Tinned chopped tomatoes – 400 g

  • Tomato purée – 2 tablespoons

  • Cannellini or butter beans, drained – 1 × 400 g tin

  • Chicken stock – 300 ml

  • Dried thyme or mixed herbs – 1 teaspoon

  • Bay leaf – 1

  • Salt – to taste

  • Black pepper – to taste

Instructions

  • Brown the sausages – Heat oil in the pan and brown the sausages all over, then remove and set aside.

  • Soften the vegetables – Add onion and carrots to the pan and cook until softened.

  • Add garlic and tomato purée – Stir briefly to release flavour without burning.

  • Build the sauce – Add chopped tomatoes, herbs, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

  • Return the sausages – Place them back into the pan and pour in the stock.

  • Simmer gently – Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Add the beans – Stir in the beans and cook uncovered for another 15–20 minutes until thickened.
