Why the question mark?

Because I am not sure if this actually is a casserole?

Let me tell you and then we can decide?

Cool..

Now as you know I prefer to make my own delicious sausages.. Yet these Italian ones I get from an Italian deli are very good.. Very good indeed..

Simply browned off very slowly..

And mushrooms and shallots chopped and slowly fried in olive oil and fresh thyme.. A little butter and seasoning too of course!

Going through the store cupboards for that annual clean out has thrown up a bunch if things needing eating.. And unfortunately some I have missed..

This is a posh sausage jar from the very lazy company .. All natural ingredients ..so that is added too..

The jar plus a jar of water makes a good sauce and a piece of garden rosemary for good measure..

And left to simmer slow on the diffuser when we needed to warm it back up..

The potatoes peeled sliced thin and layered with seasoning and fresh thyme from my pals garden inbetween..

Once layered then fresh nutmeg and crumb on top.. Then the single cream added ..

All served up with peas, carrots and fine green beans..

Another great winter warmer.. Although I don’t think I will get a jar of that stuff again. It’s a little sweet..

Those sausages are good though..

Super meaty.. Hard to even finish two of em!
