Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large onion - chopped
2 packets of sausages - what ever variety you like (Mexican/chilli sausages
are best, as they give the best flavour - normal sausages can taste a bit bland).
2 red peppers (diced)
1 can of tomatoes
2 cans of beans - one mixed beans or kidney beans, one baked beans.
2 chilli's - chopped (or more if you like it hotter)
½ tsp chilli powder
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 vegetable stock cube
½ tsp Worcester sauce
1 tbsp of brown sauce
1 tsp sugar (to taste)
Mushrooms - depending on size, about 10 normal size - quartered (chunky)
Mixed herbs (good pinch)
Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to about 160 degrees (about a 4 gas), (if you're going to cook this like a casserole). 2. Fry the chopped onions until golden, remove from the frying pan. 3. Cut the sausages in to bite size pieces - about an inch in size. Fry in batches to seal and partially cook (don't be tempted to turn them too quickly, or they will fall apart). Remove and stand on kitchen paper to remove the excess fat. 4. Place the onions and sausages in either a big frying pan (with lid), or a casserole dish. Add the all the other ingredients and stir. If it looks a bit thick add some more water, or another can of tomatoes. 5. Cook for about an hour - until thickened slightly (if you're using a big frying pan, keep it on a low heat, and stir it occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan). 6. Taste - to make sure it meets your requirements. 7. Serve with a nice jacket potato, mash or something yummy like that!
