Classy Bangers & Mash... affordable, tasty and popular with all the famly


Over the weekend I (Penny) combined a few of our fabulous Prenzel recipes to create a more sophisticated take on bangers and mash - with great success! And the kids liked it to! I made Hearty Sausage Casserole with Rosemary Baked Potato Wedges and Steamed Green Cabbage with Bacon.

Not only was this simple and tasty, it came at little cost too, with 4 sausages and a couple of pieces of bacon being the only meat used - making a casserole big enough to feed four. The addition of Prenzel Vincon made this casserole super tasty. But the flavour depends largely on the quality of the sausages used... I used London Pork Pride pork sausages but use your favourite quality sausage - chicken, venison, beef...
The Steamed Cabbage uses another strip of bacon, and cabbage is a cheap and easy vegetable during the winter months, and the Rosemary Potato wedges are so flavoursome, a favourite with kids and adults alike.
