Notes
- You can easily make this dish vegetarian or vegan, but swapping the sausages for a meat-free alternative. If you are using meat sausages, use any kind you like to add a different flavour.
- If you don't like woody herbs like thyme, then you could use something more leafy like parsley or even chives.
- Serve this sausage casserole on creamy mashed potatoes, or with some homemade potato wedges.
- Add some extra greens by stirring in some spinach a couple of minutes before serving.
- You could cook the sausages under the grill first to keep this dish lighter.
- Why not finish this dish in the oven, and you could sprinkle some cheese on top so it goes a bit crispy.
- Add some extra smokey flavour by adding some chopped up chorizo to the mix.
