Vegan Sausage Casserole

Here is an easy, vegan spin on the classic sausage casserole. This is such a comforting dish, something to warm the belly and delight your tastebuds.

You can use any vegan sausages, however I would recommend Tesco’s ‘Plant Chef’ range, ‘Wicked’ sausages or Sainsbury’s ‘Shroomdogs’. In this version I used ‘wicked chorizo style’ sausages which gave the dish a little bit of spice (we love a bit spice in this house), but if it’s not your thing you can go with whatever your favourite vegan sausage is.

If you don’t have a casserole pot, it’s no biggie, you can just use any deep saucepan.

Goes well with…

Mashed potato or a hunk of bread and butter.
