Beef and sausage casserole.

Ive been ill this week and had to take some time off work. Usually when I am ill I see it as an excuse to go crazy and eat whatever I want, and as much of it as I can. But this time I was good and fed my cold with healthy and nutritious food (not my usual Chinese takeaway special).

I had 2 nights ill and will show you both of my meals, they both had as many vegetables I could get my hands onto in them and some good quality grass fed/outdoor reared meat.

My favourite meal, and the tastiest, one was my beef and sausage casserole which the boyfriend also enjoyed a massive serving of. We had it with mashed potato and broccoli.

(Apologies in advance for the bad quality pictures- I was ill, and also hungry!)

RECIPE:

•Grass fed beef

•Outdoor reared sausages

•Sprouts

•2 x Carrots

•2 x Parsnip

•1 x Swede

•1 x Leek

•2 x White Onion

•Stock

•2 x Garlic Cloves

•Gravy granules

•Salt & Pepper

•Coconut Oil

•Potatoes and broccoli for sides

(Usually I would put all of the above into a casserole dish and cook it all together over a few hours - but this is how to do it in a 60 minute window)

•Preheat oven to 180c

•Fry chopped onions & diced garlic with coconut oil

•Add beef and sausage to pan

•Boil all chopped veg in a saucepan of stock, season to taste with salt & pepper

•When meat is cooked (10-15 minutes) transfer both into a casserole dish 

•Add some stock to the meat frying pan and pour into dish (to ensure you get all meat juices and flavour)

•Cook in the oven for as long as you want/have

•Add some gravy granules and cook for a further 10 minutes before serving

•Serve and enjoy
