Homemade Casserole Recipes

What is the difference between a stew and a casserole?

Homemade stews are generally cooked on a stove in a pot of some kind, while a homemade casserole would be baked in a dish inside your oven.

Sausage and Bean Casserole - Serves 4

Ingredients

8 Italian sausages
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (deseeded and sliced)
8 oz (225g) canned chopped tomatoes (skinned and chopped) or 14 oz (400g) can tomatoes (chopped)
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste
14 oz (400g) canned cannellini beans
Mashed potatoes or rice (to serve)

Method

Take a fork and prick each sausage all over.

In a large heavy frying pan heat two tablespoons of oil.

Add the sausages to the pan and cook gently for 10 -15 mins, turning regularly. (Make sure the sausages are cooked through).

Take the sausages out of the pan and keep them warm. Drain off the excess oil and wipe the pan with kitchen paper.

In the frying pan, heat the left over oil. Put the onion along with the garlic and pepper into the pan and cook whilst stirring for five mins.

Add the tomatoes and simmer for five mins stirring now and again.

Stir in the sun-dried tomato paste, cannellini beans and Italian sausages. Cook for 4 - 5 mins. If the mixture becomes to dry, add 4 - 5 tablespoons of water.

Put it onto plates and serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
