When creating your casserole, remember it’s cooking not baking so it’s not a precise science; add or take away ingredients that you do or don’t like, even alter the proportions to suit your taste if you want.

This is the perfect recipe to make in your slow cooker so you can come home to the amazing smell of your hearty, warming dinner.

1. Make your stock using the Knorr Stock pot with the boiling water.
2. In the crock pot of your slow cooker, put your flour, tomato puree, mustard, herbs, chopped tomatoes and the stock then mix thoroughly.
3. Add the chopped vegetables and stir through.
4. Cut each sausage into 3 and add them to the crock pot (I don’t bother to brown mine as it’s a slow cooked recipe). You MAY need to add some more water at this stage. You want it to submerge the majority of your veg but not all.
5. Place the lid on and cook on medium for 6-8 hours.  The fantastic thing about a slow cooker is that it’s difficult to over-cook your food and you certainly don’t have to watch it cook either.
6. If you want to thicken your casserole up a bit more, remove the lid and turn the dial up to high for the final 30 minutes.
7.  Serve with boiled potatoes, mashed with some Flora Buttery and some lovely steamed Savoy cabbage.

Now you’ve seen just how EASY it is to make your own casserole sauce, why not have a go for yourself the.Come back and tell me how you got on.
