This one-pot wonder is not only easy to prepare but also incredibly delicious.

This is perfect for the slow cooker, brown off the sausages firstly, then pop them into the slow cocker with all the other ingredients and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
I don’t have a slow cooker and used a cast iron casserole dish.
Follow the exact same approach as with he slow-cooker and pop into a preheated oven at 180* degrees / gas mark 4 for 2.5 hours.
Serve it with creamy champ mashed potatoes or a slice of crusty bread to soak up all the flavours.
