Sausage Casserole With Red Wine image

This recipe originally came from Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course. It has a delicious, rich sauce that is very warming on a cold winter's day. The sauce is so yummy and tends to reduce quickly so I have increased the quantity. The original recipe includes sliced mushrooms which I omit - family preference! If you wish to include them you could add them approx 20 mins before the end of cooking time. This goes well with either mashed potatoes or noodles.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb sausage (pork or beef both work well)
8 ounces streaky bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 -15 fluid ounces red wine
2 teaspoons flour
1 -2 garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon dried herbs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
  • Fry the sausages until brown then remove and place in a flameproof casserole dish.
  • Fry the streaky bacon pieces until the fat is beginning to run and they are just turning golden.
  • Remove and place in the casserole dish with sausages.
  • Add the onions to the frying pan and gently fry until golden. Add the garlic and fry very briefly.
  • Sprinkle the flour on top of the onion and garlic mixture and stir well until the 'juices' are absorbed.
  • Gradually stir the red wine into this mixture.
  • Pour over the top of the sausage and bacon mixture in the flameproof casserole.
  • Add the mixed herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir.
  • Place on a medium heat on the stovetop and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and simmer for 50 minutes.
  • During this time check sauce levels occasionally and adjust consistency as necessary. If sauce is too thick, add a little more red wine. If sauce is too thin after approximately 30 minutes then remove the lid of the casserole dish and allow to reduce.

This casserole was a disappointment. The sausage was overcooked and the vegetables were mushy.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The red wine sauce was really flavorful.

The casserole was a bit dry. I think I will add more liquid next time.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out great. The sausage was browned perfectly and the vegetables were tender. The red wine sauce was rich and flavorful.

This casserole was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a variety of sausages, including Italian sausage, chorizo, and kielbasa. The red wine added a nice depth of flavor.

This sausage casserole with red wine was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the sausage was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
