1kg Desiree potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped
40g butter, chopped
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 brown onion, sliced
750g pork or beef chipolata sausages
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
35g packet French onion soupmix
1 tablespoon plain flour
1/2 cup grated tasty cheese
Recipe
Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return to pan. Add butter, milk and salt and pepper. Mash until smooth.
Preheat oven to 200�C. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Add sausages and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until browned. Whisk tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soupmix, flour and 3/4 cup water in a jug. Stir into sausage mixture and bring to the boil.
Spoon sausage mixture into an 8-cup capacity casserole. Top with potato. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is golden. Serve.
Notes
Instead of mashed potato, you could make a pumpkin or sweet potato mash or a carrot and parsnip mash. And this recipe works equally well if you replace the sausages with small lamb loin chops.
