    Cook's Notes
  • 8
    Premium quality sausages can be pork or beef and will contain 100% meat.
  • 9
    Seasoning in sausages can vary greatly so add extra seasoning to taste at the end of cooking.

    For alternative ways to serve try filling a giant Yorkshire pudding with the sausage casserole or serve with a side order of crunchy garlic bread.
