Sausage and bean casserole is perfect weekend comfort food but it works just as well served up at a dinner party! It can be made all in one pot so you can sit back and relax!
Hey friends! How was everyone's Christmas? We had such. a. lovely. time. It was a very grown up Christmas with my parents featuring delicious food and loads of amazing presents.
My family are always crazy generous with presents and this year was no exception and Will got me an electric pressure cooker (instant pot type deal) so get ready for some new pressure cooker recipes in the new year!
This was also our first Christmas with Bernie (our cat) who was mostly thoroughly overwhelmed by the extra people staying in our flat and all of the huge amounts of presents and extra things all over the place.
He did very much enjoy his presents though, if you're following me on instagram then you probably saw my stories showing him enjoying plenty of catnip toys!
So tell me, tell me, tell me, how was your break? Did you get some amazing presents? Did you spend lovely time with your family and friends? Most importantly, did you eat some incredible food?
Anyways, let's talk about this sausage and bean casserole real quick. It's started off on the cooktop and then once everything is cooked through it's popped in the oven with panko on top to get all crispy and lovely.
This casserole just makes me think about being at home. I'm not sure my mum actually even ever made a sausage casserole like this but she killed at making classic comfort food like this and those flavours just make me feel so happy.
See also, this pressure cooker chicken casserole which is inspired by my mum's recipe.

What a great idea to add the breadcrumb topping--that adds just the right amount of texture.

Oh such a heavenly combination!! I love sausages and I love beans, I make a combination with sausage and lentils so I know beans will definitely go well together. Yum!
