Sizzling Summer Sage and Sausages Bake

My lovely husband Howard and son Ted love sausages. I often get the impression that if I wasn’t here they would eat sausages all the time (how did you guess?! -Ed). On warm days they are always asking for BBQ’d sausages. I’m not the biggest fan of the BBQ. The food cooked on it often doesn’t sit well in my stomach. So I thought this meal would make an ideal alternative.

Once all the vegetables were peeled and chopped this was a really easy dinner to cook. All I did was put it in the oven and then serve it once it was cooked. I did forget to boil the broccoli so if you want to ads greens to this dish then please be my guest. When I served this to Howard and Ted there strangely weren’t any complaints. It was a delicious dinner and one I just had to share with you.

Sizzling Summer Sage and Sausages Bake was a big hit in our house. My husband and son were very happy to eat this meal. As I mentioned earlier, I was going to serve this with broccoli, but it could be served with a number of vegetables including peas or green beans. I think Howard and Ted were pleased I forget to serve the greens. However you decide to eat this dinner, with or without the greens, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
