My easy meal tonight...

Sausage Casserole

(picture is of leftovers that will be enjoyed tomorrow)

This is a microwave recipe but I cooked it in my large cast iron frypan, giving it much more flavour.

Sausage Casserole (microwave)

1/2 kilo of sausages (I used chicken ones)

placed in a flat dish with enough hot water to partly cover and cook on high for 4 minutes. Peel the sausages and roll in flour, seasoned with salt and pepper. Place in casserole, add 1 carrot diced, 1 chopped onion, 1 stick celery, chopped finely, 1 tin tomato soup, 3/4 cup water. Cook on HIGH 7 minutes, and then MEDIUM for 25 minutes or until veggies are soft.

~Now for the way I cooked this,

I am trying to get away from using the microwave.

I cut sausages into threes, rolled in flour and browned using a little oil in pan.

When nearly done I added

the onion, carrot and celery. I fried until onion was soft, then added the tomato soup and water.

I let it simmer with a lid on until done, approx 20 minutes. I served it with simple homemade Potato Bake.

Just sliced potato, a little cream and grated cheese on top. Baked in a moderate oven.
