Cowboy casserole is wonderful. When i mentioned it to my friend, he thought I meant something along the lines of a barbeque dish (i.e. wild west cowboy). It's actually more a description of how to make it! Chuck it all in!
Only key ingredient is sausages.
Recipe time!
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!
