Ingredients

  • 4 Morrisons The Best sausages
  • 500g beef mince
  • 1 shallot or small red onion, finely chopped
  • 50g breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed or finely grated
  • 2 x 240g cans baked beans
  • 3 tbsp Morrisons BBQ sauce
  • 1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 25g butter
  • 75ml milk
  • 50g cheddar, grated
  • handful parsley, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Make the meatballs by squeezing the sausagemeat from the skins into a large bowl, then add the beef, shallot, breadcrumbs, egg and mixed dried herbs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix using your hands until fully combined – this is important to ensure the meatballs don’t fall apart. Form the mixture into about 20 meatballs.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and brown the meatballs all over, about 4-5 mins. They don’t need to be completely cooked but nearly there. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle the remaining oil into the frying pan, reduce to a medium-low heat and fry the onion for 8-10 mins until softened but not golden. Stir in the garlic and fry for 1-2 mins more before tipping in the baked beans and BBQ sauce. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 mins until just simmering.

  4. Step 4

    Put the meatballs into an ovenproof dish (around 25cm x 20cm), then pour the baked bean mixture over the top. Set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 12-16 minutes until tender, then drain and add back into the pan with the butter and milk. Mash using a potato masher until smooth, then spoon over the bean mixture. Scatter over the cheddar, then bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling up around the sides. Scatter with parsley, if you like.
