Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 30 mins

1.

Preheat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6.

2.

Peel potatoes, boil or steam and make into mashed potato. I like to add some butter and milk to mine to make them creamy.

3.

While potatoes are cooking. Grill sausages and bacon until cooked. Once cooked, cut sausages into 3 pieces and bacon into small pieces. Fry onions and mushrooms until cooked, if using them.

4.

In a large casserole dish mix baked beans and tomatoes. Add sausages, bacon, onion and mushrooms, stir together. Top with mashed potato and sprinkle with grated cheese.

5.

Place in oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until cheese has melted. Place a tray under casserole dish as bean juice may bubble over sides.
