Easy Sausage Casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb good-quality pork sausages
½ lb bacon, diced
½ lb onion, diced
1 garlic clove, crushed
6 oz mushrooms
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp all-purpose flour
1 bay leaf
1 cup red wine
Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan and brown the sausages, then remove from pan. Add the bacon, onion and garlic and cook until the bacon pieces are nicely browned. Sprinkle with flour and stir well. Then add the wine, sausages, thyme, bay leaf and season well. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce temperature, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, brown the mushrooms in a small frying pan with a bit of oil and add to the sausage mixture. Continue cooking until the casserole is piping hot and the sausages are cooked through.
