Sausage and Tomato Casserole

This is a really great option when you’ve got tomatoes going funny in the fridge, or when you’re feeling really lazy and don’t want much washing up to do afterwards. A hearty, warming dish, it’s the perfect option after a hard days essay writing (I have so much work at the moment!!), because apart from the chopping and occasional stir, you can just leave it to do its thing, its really that simple.

The recipe is from the trusty Good Food website, and the only change I made was to use regular tomatoes as apposed to sun dried. I served it with spaghetti on this occasion, and it tasted wonderful reheated for lunch the next day.

Sausage and Leek Casserole

I've never made a casserole before, but after making this I'll definitely be doing it again, but perhaps minus the dumplings. After throwing everything in a pan and leaving it for a couple of hours I was left with perfectly cooked sausages, potatoes, carrots and onions, it's just so simple. The only element I was a little unsure about was the dumplings, I found them to be very dry, although Ben, having had them before, said they were just right. I leave it up to you to decide. The recipe can be found here.
