Spiced Bean and Banger Stew

Mmmmm…this spiced bean and banger stew is delicious!   We love sausages…especially Asda Extra Special Classic Pork Sausages…to the point that there’s usually always a ‘just in case’ pack in the freezer!   If you like cassoulet, then this is definitely a recipe for you to try.

One cooking programme we’ve been enjoying watching on BBC is Nadiya’s Family Favourites.   We don’t have the recipe book from that programme, but we recently got her Nadiya’s British Food Adventure recipe book where this dish is adapted from.

At the time of writing this, we’ve only made it once, but it’s most definitely one of those dishes that will be made again and again.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
