Cheap and easy sausage hotpot

I have been using this recipe for a year or so. It is quick and easy to do and I nearly always have all the ingredients in stock ready to go.

You will need-
6 sausages
2 or 3 carrots
1 large onion
Optional spinach
3 cloves of garlic or garlic granules
5 medium potatoes
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin beans
stock cube
500ml boiling water
seasoning (I use a dollop of brown sauce or worcester sauce)

Chop onion, garlic and carrots and fry in a pan until onion is soft.

 Slice your potatoes and put them in a pan to boil.  Put sausages under the grill or fry them.

 Make up the stock and pour into pan with the onions carrots and garlic. Simmer for 15 minutes or until carrots are soft.

Add beans and tomatoes. I sneak some spinach in at this point as no one else in my family likes it but I want to get some extra greens in to their diet!

 Chop up sausages and put in a big cooking dish. 

 Add the contents of the pan on top.

Drain potatoes and layer on top.

Bake in the oven for around 40 minutes.

I get 4 portions out of this and it costs below 80p per person to make. It is a great meal for families and is a firm favourite in our household. It can be premade in the morning and put in the oven when you get home in an evening if that is easier for you.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do,
Thanks for reading
