Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 454 g Pork sausages
  • 1 Onion Peeled and chopped into large chunks.
  • 3 Peppers Deseeded and chopped into large chunks.
  • 2x Tins of Baked beans
  • 400 g Tinned tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper

For the mash:

  • 1 kg Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 tbsp Milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • 50 g Cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven if finishing the pie in the oven (see optional last step).
  • Put the potatoes on to boil in salted water.
  • While they are boiling heat oil in a large, deep frying pan. Add the sausages and cook for 10 minutes, turning regularly.
  • Cut the sausages into thirds (I use scissors) and add the onions and peppers. Cook for a further 7 - 10 minutes until the peppers have started to soften and the sausages are golden.
  • Add the beans, tomatoes, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and add the butter, milk, cheese and salt and pepper, and mash until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the sausage mix to an oven dish and top with the mash and cheese.

Either:

  • Put in the oven on 180C for 25 minutes. (You'll need to heat this way if you've made the pie in advance and it has cooled down.)
  • Put under a hot grill for 5 minutes until the top is golden.
