This is a great recipe to make in the slow cooker, too. Instead of simmering on the hob, just chuck it all into your slow cooker and simmer for a few hours on a low heat.

I made this last night for 3 adults and 2 children ages 8 and 9. I used 12 sausages and it just about did us all. I made it in the slow cooker so i grilled the sausages cut them into chunks and just threw everything else in and left all day to cook. We all loved it but it was definately missing something. I think this is going to be our next favourite meal! Serve with warm crusty bread to mop up the juices nom nom!! Changes - Iv wrote the recipie out and noted to add a red pepper and a tea spoon(maybe 2) or harissa paste with plenty of seasoning too. Cant wait to eat it again

Great. And there was quite a lot of sauce and sweet potato left over so I whizzed up into a soup!

Loved the sound and look of this, and made it today for dinner. Just some thoughts: (1) It's not a slow cooker recipe, you make it on the hob. (2) I needed to add in passata, the 2 tins of tomatoes just weren't enough to provide a 'sauce' and it was a bit clumpy (3) I need everything spelled out when it comes to cooking and didn't add salt or pepper, and it needed it (I don't habitually add at the table, so I'm not a salt fiend by any means) and hubby agreed it was a bit lacking :-( so I will be adding into the leftovers for tomorrow. Thanks for sharing, will definitely make it again!

Tasty and filling. I used frozen chopped leeks instead of onions and omitted the sweetcorn but it still worked very well. Not too time consuming either, which is always a plus!

This was so good, only change I made was changing the types of beans to add different flavours. It goes great with crusty bread too!

This was lovely, and even better reheated the next day! I used low fat sausages to lower the fat content for me and my 2 year old daughter.

What temperature should the oven be.
Guest
Making this for the first time now. I HATE cooking but love things I can chop up and chuck in slow cooker and this is great. I love this time of year as so much easier for slow cooker foods.
Guest
Made this a few times in the slow cooker...very yummy and no way is it dry! Add more herbs and spices if you think it is tasteless :)

We had this today, I added garlic, herbs and baked beans and we ate it with crusty bread. Was a big hit here, the kids all said it was yummy and my husband and I loved it. Ours wasn't dry at all. Will definitely be making again.
Guest
love this recipe - made it several times.
Guest
I've just made this but with normal potatos and baked beans n added cheese and got to say its lovely, not dry at all with the juice from beans n the melted cheese, also used frozen mixed veg instead of just sweetcorn.... And my 3 yr old who doesn't usually eat has almost cleared her plate :D
Guest
We added some garam masala, paprika, bit of chilli, baked beans instead of plain beans, a sprinkle of sugar, water from a swished out can of tomatoes and then put it in a casorole dish in the oven at 180 for 30 mins. This gives it a sweeter, curried taste and not so bland. We also used Cumberland sausage and it tasted lovely.
Guest
Me and my partner really disliked this meal, very dry, tasteless and the ingredients really didn't go well together. The nicest part of the meal was the bread and butter i filled myself up on instead of finishing!

My 6 year old wasn't too enthusiastic about this, she ate the sausages, but little else. I think it had too much sweet potato in it, seemed an awful lot and was a bit dry. Will try it again with ordinary poteto and baked beans, see if she likes it then.
Guest
I tried this and it was a winner in our house, will defo make again. I used normal potatoes and butter beans instead.
Guest
Great, easy recipe. My little one has just decided he likes sweet potato so this is great. I only had plainer flavoured sausages in the freezer (but will try with toulouse next) and so added a generous sprinkling of smoked paprika to give it an edge - both little ones enjoyed as well as the adults!
Guest
Sainsburys sell Taste the Difference Toulouse sausages.
Guest
I can't find Toulouse sausages. What kind of sausages have others used please?
Guest
Hubby was v enthusiastic about this which makes a nice change, and it was Father's day. We only had half the sweet potatoes, so used 4 extra sausages instead which went down a treat. Will make again and do the same. You could use 2 different types of vege sausages. We had it with mashed potato also.

My little one loved it and cleared her plate, definately be making this one again :)

This is a great midweek recipe for nights when my wee one has to go out to his clubs. Great to leave in fridge for hubby! I've done this with various beans I've found at the back of the cupboard.
Guest
I made this in the slow cooker, with kidney beans and baked beans. It was a huge hit with all the kids and have all asked me to make it again in the future! Thumbs up!
Guest
Can anyone tell me if they have done this in a slow cooker? How long for and what prep did you. Thanks Sara T
Guest
My son and husband loved this! I did it in the slow cooker and could smell it cooking all afternoon! It was really nice enjoyed by all.
Guest
Did this today and all four children thoroughly enjoyed it and so did i- i added a bit of bacon too which was yummy. Thanks for a great recipe.
Guest
Thanks for this great recipe. I cooked this for my family (girls age 3 and 6), and we all loved it, even looks really colourful to and tastes great, and had leftovers to freeze. Thanks will definitely cook this again.
Guest
Delicious. I varied it slightly and made it into a one pot dish by frying sausages and onion in pan together, then adding tomatoes and some stock with the sweet potatoes, then all the pulses towards the end. Needed pepper and some extra herbs as would be a bit bland otherwise, and if not making for kids, a bit of chilli might be nice. Thinking of doing variations of this with different types of sausages and pulses - a real winner at around a pound per portion!
Guest
Sorry, I was focusing more on trying to simplify the recipe enough for it to cost under a fiver. When we make it ourselves, we add herbs such as rosemary and thyme, some minced garlic and red wine (once cooked out it is ok for the kids to eat). It's hard to put a price on the amounts of those kind of ingredients used so I kept to the bare minimum - also the toulouse sausages have red wine, herbs and garlic in them already so that's why I specified those sausages - they add more flavour to the casserole. Glad to see most enjoyed the recipe though :-) Tanya aka Letanya!
Guest
where do you get the lincoln vegie sausages from,and more vegie food have recently gone vegetarian,I love the recipes,thanx for the post and please tell me which shop to buy the sausages from.Thanx again,will cook this as soon as i get the sausages
Guest
Had this for tea tonight - It was alright, nothing special. Nobody passed comment either way so I guess I would do it again. I've blitzed the rest for a soup tomorrow for lunch so I'll see how that goes down.
Guest
My 14 month old and 3 year old really enjoyed this. After they had their portions, we added a dash of chilli and red wine (as previously suggested) and it was a big hit with me and my husband too. Will definately do it again.
Guest
Big thumbs up here too, great tasting way to get plenty of veg in!
Guest
We all enjoyed this very much, including our 2 boys, 18 months & 3 years. I added some smoked paprika, tomato puree and some chicken stock as previously suggested. Would recommend this winter warmer!
Guest
Absolutely scrummy! Specially the next day watered down with some chicken stock for soup as the previous poster suggested :)
Guest
My family (8 yr old twins and 4 yr old) loved this! They even went back for seconds. There was lots of the veggies leftover so added cup of chicken stock and blitzed in the food processor for soup lunch the following day!
Guest
A tasty family meal! thank you for sharing. We added some wine and chilli after the 3 year old had eaten his!
Guest
This is really good with vegetarian Lincolnshire sausages too - and is one of those meals that tastes even better as leftovers the next day. Mmmm.
Guest
We all enjoyed very much (children aged 2 & 5 yrs)and I would definitely make again. I used Lincolnshire sausages and added 1/4pt of chicken stock.

So easy to make and very tasty. Me and husband had it last night and I have cut it up for my 3 year old today and blended it up a bit more for my twin girls aged 1 for lunch today. We all loved it and it was very cheap. I got a big bag of Hammonds skinless sausages for £1 from Farm Foods which made it even cheaper. Yum!
