Sausage Casserole

Yesterday I was feeling very autumnal. I went shopping early, we bought a new lamp, I got some Christmas decorations and then by midday was back in my PJs with no intention of leaving the house again. I felt this was an appropriate winter-warmer to have for tea, and one that I could prepare in the afternoon and just serve at tea time.
This is a recipe that Emma and I discovered whilst at university and attempting to cook more for ourselves. We would each pick a new meal and cook for the rest of the house once a week (something that wasn't really embraced by our pizza cooking housemate), and this was one such meal. Hard to believe that was now nearly 10 years ago - however, this is still a meal that I love!

Ingredients (serves 4):
8 pork sausages (I use standard sausages but I'm sure this would also taste nice with a Cumberland sausage.)
8 rashers bacon
1 red pepper
1 onion
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
Vinegar
2 tsp chilli powder

Instructions:
1. Cook the sausages in the grill. Remove when done and slice.

2. Heat some FryLight (or oil) in a large saucepan. Chop the bacon, and cook in the oil. Drain any excess fat and add the sausages.

3. Dice the pepper and onion, and add to the meat. Stir through.

4. Add the tinned tomatoes (you could substitute one tin for a tin of beans which works just as well). Add a few drops of vinegar and the chilli powder. Stir well.

5. Cover the saucepan and heat on high until boiling. Once boiling, turn down on to a low temperature and cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring often. (If at any point it looks a bit dry, add a few tablespoons of water.)

6. Serve with cheesy mash, and enjoy!
