Lazy Breakfast Traybake

Lazy Breakfast Traybake- an easy way to serve up an English cooked breakfast using one baking tray- sausages, potatoes, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes. Jump to Recipe I love an English breakfast, especially at the weekend, even better if you're eating it at big family gathering. What I don't love, is all the pots and pans that need cleaning afterwards. The worst, the absolute worst, is the grill. I absolutely hate cleaning it. This lazy breakfast traybake is a winner on that front. One baking tray and you're done! Sausages (Cumberland are best by far), bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and Cajun spiced potatoes- amazing. I like to think of the breakfast traybake as a base breakfast. Something you can build on. I will happily eat it for breakfast and not need anything else. But, if you can't imagine a cooked breakfast without beans or eggs or toast, you can easily serve those on the side as well for a really monster breakfast/brunch.

Spicy Sausage Pasta

Spicy Sausage Pasta- a simple pasta dish with grilled Cumberland sausages and a spicy tomato and red pepper sauce. A delicious, comforting dinner.

It's pretty quick to make with grilled sausages in a tomato- based sauce and a bit of spice from the crushed chillis. It's easy to make and can be doubled to feed a crowd, if needed.

Sausage Casserole

There's nothing better than casserole to warm you up on a winter's evening. All that beautiful meat and veg falling apart in a rich sauce is very comforting somehow. It doensn't hurt that casserole is so easy to make. The trouble is that it take time, either in a slow cooker on in an oven to get those cheaper cuts of meat falling apart so perfectly. If you're looking for a quicker casserole with ingredients that you will usually already have to hand, then a sausage casserole is worth a try. It doesn't require such long cooking; you can usually have it ready in under an hour. It doesn't matter which sausages you use, just grab your favourites. I sometimes use chipolatas, if that's what I have to hand. For the veg, I usually use carrots, but you can also add mushrooms, or switch the carrots out for butternut squash or sweet potato, whatever takes your fancy! Sausage Casserole freezes well, so it's a good recipe for making in a big batch.
