imagine this, poured over mash
This sausage casserole was served with a cheesy purple potato mash in the TMBL household, and there was much rejoicing*.
Autumn (or fall as people on this side of the world say) is fast approaching and this is the perfect nights-drawing-in-need-comfort-food kind of meal.
When selecting your sausages (I can’t talk about sausages without sniggering, blame it on my arrested development), you can go with any meat but it’s important to stay away from fancy flavours.
I went with chicken – they were the only organic sausages I could find
Sure pickle and hot chile sausages sound great in the store but once you get them home they tend to ruin the flavours of an already flavoursome dish.
Just let the thick bacon, onion and apple gravy do its thing and the sausages [snigger] will take care of themselves.
an apple a day….
*this is a Monty Python reference and if you haven’t seen them do their thing then I beg you to rectify that, NOW.
Sausage & Apple Casserole (serves 2)
- 4 sausages
- 4 rashers streaky bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 large, green apple (I used a Granny Smith), cored, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 large, red apple (I went for a Braeburn), cored, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 large, white onion, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (or all purpose if you’re fine with grains/gluten)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1-2 tbsps butter
- Fry the sausages in butter for about 10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside, preserving the precious juices.
- Add the onion, garlic, bacon to the pan, adding more butter if necessary, and fry them up in the meat juices for about five minutes.
- Add the apple pieces and fry until brown.
- Put the sausages back in the pan and stir to let the flavours mingle. Sieve in the flour until everything is coated and the juices have been soaked up.
- Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken stock. It’s important to pour it in gradually, stirring constantly as it thickens. Once it’s the consistency of a thick gravy transfer everything to a casserole dish, cover and bake in the oven at 375 for an hour.

This sounds YummY Ms. Cat.
Oh yum! This looks so good! Stellar combination of foods
Thanks PinP!
That looks delicious!
Sounds scrumptious! Apples, sausage, bacon, onions all go so well with each other. And I love the reference to Monty Python. The oldest son loves spam and he recently saw the Spam Song skit they did. It’s still one of my favorites, probably because I don’t like spam.
Mine too! I love that Monty Python hasn’t been on the tv in decades and people are still enjoying it.
Several years ago I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina walking with the Baby Lady and we saw painted on a building a stencil of the walk from the Ministry of Silly Walks. I was absolutely stunned. I knew then that there was still hope for all mankind.
Oh yum yum!!! And thanks for including the Monty Python skit….reminds me that I need to do a revival one night and laugh my arse off.
Sausage, butter, bacon, AND Monty Python all in the same post! Awesome.
Thanks, I aim to please

This is now my new go-to meal when it is cold – my partner and I both love it, and it is so quick to prepare! Admittedly I add a little more bacon than you though haha (I’m something of an addict!). Next stop, your bacon brownies – cannot wait!
Hi Matthew, thanks for coming back and leaving a review! I’m delighted that you enjoyed it (who doesn’t like bacon?! I say pile it on!). I wish you luck with the bacon brownies, they are certainly a hit in my house – rich, smokey and good
