Sausage and bean hotpot

Ingredients (serves 8)
* 2 tbs sunflower oil
* 20 chipolata sausages
* 3 onions, finely chopped
* 600ml chicken or beef stock
* 700g tomato pasta sauce (we used roasted tomato & bacon)
* 330ml Guinness beer
* 2 tbs brown sugar
* 4 x 410g cans baked beans
* 2 tbs finely chopped parsley


Method
1. Preheat the oven to 150°C. Heat oil in a large ovenproof casserole over medium heat, add the sausages and brown all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Add onions to pan and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until softened. Add stock, sauce, beer and sugar, bring to the boil, then reduce and simmer for 10 minutes. Return sausages to pan with beans, cover and place in oven for 45 minutes. Remove, season with salt and pepper, scatter with parsley and serve with ember-baked potatoes (see related recipe).
