Sausage and bean crumble

Set the oven to Gas Mark 3, or 160°C.

Place the sausages in a casserole dish and scatter over the chopped bacon, onion and beans.

Pouring 200ml (7fl oz) boiling water into a measuring jug, and adding the stock cube, stir until its dissolved. Then stir in the smoked paprika and chopped tomatoes, and season well. Pour this mixture into the casserole dish.

Cover the casserole dish with a lid or foil, and place on a baking tray in the centre of the oven. Bake for about 1½ hours, or until the sausages are cooked and the onion has softened.

To make the crumble topping: Tip the flour into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture starts to bind together. Mix in the parsley and some salt and pepper.

Increase the oven temperature to Gas Mark 6, or 200°C.

Scatter the crumble mixture over the top of the casserole, and then cook, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, or until the crumble topping is a light-golden colour. Remove from the oven and serve with green vegetables or salad.
