Ingredients

This Sausage Hotpot is made with cheap and common ingredients that most people would already have on hand, which makes this recipe a great last minute budget dinner!

Sausages – I use beef sausages for this dish, but you can use any kind of sausage that you enjoy!

Onion, Garlic & Tomato – These are what give the gravy its great flavour!

Gravy Powder – Look, I could sit here and tell you that you need to make everything yourself and that you must make the gravy from scratch. Every. Damn. Time. But you don’t. You just don’t. You’re busy, I’m busy. Cheat a little. It’s fine.

Potatoes – The potatoes for the hotpot are boiled until *just* cooked through and then sliced up. Lay them on top for a delicious topping!

Toppings – Just before baking, I scatter over garlic salt (if you don’t have this, get some! It’s delicious!) and grated cheese. Yum.
