Recipe Time!
Cowboy Casserole

At least 2 sausages per person
Beef Stock (1/2 cube per person)
Onion (Roughly 1 onion per person)
Pasta (as much as you like)
I recommend Lea & Perrins, but it's up to you.

Now here's the fun part...
(optional) red peppers, peas, green beans, baked beans. sweetcorn, anything like that - we went with red peppers, beans and sweetcorn, so i'll use them in the recipe

Preheat oven to about 180
Cook pasta, then leave on low until rest of recipe is ready
Fry the sausages in a fair amount of oil, just to brown them. Add half a diced onion for a couple of minutes, just to brown it.
Cut up the peppers & the rest of the onions roughly, and stick in the casserole dish with the sweetcorn.
Follow this up with the sausage, the fried onions and all the oil from the pan.
Drain pasta, and pour into dish
Pour boiling water into dish until it's about 1/2 centimetre about the food.
Then add the beans, this means the flavour sticks in the sauce, and doesn't just wrap around the pasta.
Season to your hearts desire! Lots and lots of pepper is required if you're doing a big dish. Stir thoroughly
Cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring about every ten minutes.


Et voila! Dead easy to cook, and if it's done right, really really tasty!

Doesn't need to be served with anything, as all you need will be in the dish!

What you lot reckon?

I want to make this
It sounds really rather delicious and I'm always on the lookout for cheap-ish tastiness, since I'm skint most of the time!

If a rather large pot was made, would it be suitable for re-heating d'you think?

I'm disappointed
by the lack of actual cowboy in your casserole recipe...

@Shar
As far as I know, this can be reheated, yes.

If the sausages don't go too well reheating, just redo some, then put them in the pot, and put it in a low heat oven for about 20 minutes, let them pick up the flavour again.

sounds like
something I make but I used noodles instead of pasta. Basically whatever is in the cupboard + noodles + sausage = days of eating pleasure!
