There&#8217;s actually not a whole lot of ingredients in general. <em>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sausages<\/strong> &#8211; you&#8217;ll want some chunky sausages, just so they hold their own in the casserole. I recommend some &#8216;neutral&#8217; flavoured sausages, just because there&#8217;s so much surrounding flavour; you don&#8217;t want too many distractions within the sausage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Potatoes<\/strong> &#8211; make sure you&#8217;re using baby potatoes. They&#8217;re waxy and hold up nicely over the long cooking time, unlike floury\/baking potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon<\/strong> &#8211; this pumps heaps of gorgeous, smoky flavour into the sauce and pairs beautifully with the sausages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carrot<\/strong> &#8211; this bulks out the casserole and offers some sweetness to balance the richer, saltier flavours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion &amp; Garlic<\/strong> &#8211; both add a nice base flavour for the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato<\/strong> &#8211; chopped tomatoes help create the sauce, whilst tomato paste helps deepen the flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong> &#8211; bay leaves, rosemary and thyme all add a gorgeous herbaceous flavour to the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red Wine<\/strong> &#8211; this adds a lovely depth of flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire Sauce<\/strong> &#8211; adds a savoury umami flavour to the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beef Stock<\/strong> &#8211; creates the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"850\" data-pin-description=\"Here I&#039;ll show you how to make a classic sausage casserole in the heartiest and most delicious way possible!\" data-pin-title=\"Hearty Sausage Casserole (Classic Recipe)\" src=\"https:\/\/entresuitemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sausage-casserole-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of sausage casserole ingredients with text labels\" class=\"wp-image-29744\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">How to make Sausage Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>Confession &#8211; this is technically more of a stew than a casserole, given that it&#8217;s made on the stove. However, it does share a similar texture to an oven-baked casserole, given the thick and luscious texture of the sauce. That and it&#8217;s literally cooked in a casserole dish. I just prefer working on the stove, so you get more control over the consistency.<\/p>\n<p><em>Making the sausage casserole happens in two phases:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Frying<\/strong> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Simmering<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We&#8217;ll begin by frying the sausages and then removing them. <strong>You do not need to fully cook them at this point<\/strong>. This is just to brown the outsides and render out some fat. From there, you can fry the bacon and use all the excess fat to fry the onion, carrot and garlic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: add sausages (photo 1), fry then remove (photo 2), fry bacon (photo 3), fry carrot, onion and garlic (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"Here I&#039;ll show you how to make a classic sausage casserole in the heartiest and most delicious way possible!\" data-pin-title=\"Hearty Sausage Casserole (Classic Recipe)\" src=\"https:\/\/entresuitemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/how-to-make-sausage-casserole.jpg\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to make sausage casserole\" class=\"wp-image-29746\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve fried everything, you can add all the remaining ingredients and simmer. <strong>The key to this casserole being so delicious is a nice long simmer<\/strong>. Specifically, you&#8217;ll want to simmer for 90 minutes with the lid on, then 20 minutes with it off. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lid on simmer<\/strong> &#8211; the 90 minute simmer is crucial to marry all the flavours together. Keeping the lid on is crucial to ensure it doesn&#8217;t reduce and thicken too much.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lid off simmer<\/strong> &#8211; taking the lid off will allow the steam to escape, which will cause the sauce to thicken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Process shots: fry tomato paste then reduce wine (photo 5), add all remaining ingredients (photo 6), mix (photo 7), simmer (photo 8).<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-description=\"Here I&#039;ll show you how to make a classic sausage casserole in the heartiest and most delicious way possible!\" data-pin-title=\"Hearty Sausage Casserole (Classic Recipe)\" src=\"https:\/\/entresuitemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/how-to-make-sausage-casserole-1.jpg\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to make sausage casserole\" class=\"wp-image-29747\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-decoration:underline\">How to serve Sausage Casserole<\/h2>\n<p>To serve, you can pluck out the herb stalks, or just remove them as and when you find them.

It doesn\u2019t need to be anything fancy, just so long as it\u2019s dry.
