Thermomix Best Sausage casserole

Thermomix Best Sausage casserole

One of my daughters loves Sausage casseroles! I used to make them in the stove. Last night I attempted to make it in the Thermomix. Everyone agreed that this was the best sausage casserole ever! I allowed 3 fat Cumberland sausages per person (my family are not big eaters) but you can add another 1 or 2 per person (the bowl won't even be full). If you add more sausages I would add another tin of tomatoes, 50 grs of chorizo, 4 rashers of bacon, another 1/2 tin of water. I love the flavour that the chorizo gives to it (not surprising!). I served with boiled mini potatoes and steamed green beans. Try to make it, it is just lovely on a cold winter's night.
