Jamie Oliver Sausage and Bean Casserole
Print Recipe

This dish is a slow-cooked classic that combines browned sausages with beans, vegetables, and tomatoes. The long, gentle simmering allows all the flavours to blend beautifully, resulting in a rich, thick sauce. Jamie Oliver’s take adds herbs and a touch of spice to give this traditional British comfort food a delicious twist.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 good-quality sausages

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 carrot, diced

  • 1 celery stick, diced

  • 1 red pepper, chopped

  • 400g can chopped tomatoes

  • 400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

  • 400g can of butter beans or kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 tbsp tomato purée

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 250ml chicken stock

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the sausages

Heat olive oil in a large casserole pan. Add the sausages and cook over medium heat until browned all over. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the vegetables

In the same pan, add onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and red pepper. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Add seasonings and tomato base

Stir in tomato purée, smoked paprika, and thyme. Add the chopped tomatoes and bay leaf, then pour in the chicken stock. Mix well.

Step 4: Add the sausages and beans

Return the sausages to the pan and add the drained beans. Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Cook until thick and rich

Cover and cook on low heat for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken, and the sausages should be fully cooked.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Remove the bay leaf, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
