Autumn is here again, and for me it’s all about comfort food! Once the nights draw in and the days get colder I need those kinds of recipes that make me feel all warm and snuggly inside.
This recipe takes a little while to make and cook – about an hour and a half all together – so it’s better for a weekend, or for when you have time in the day to get it prepped to pop in the oven later to cook through.
If you are not following Slimming world, you can make this dish with any kind of sausages you like, but if you are on SW then you need to be using the SW sausages from Iceland as they’re totally FREE, or use lower-fat sausages and count the Syns (check your book or online membership for the latest correct details).
To make this savory bake, you need to boil the potatoes in advance for the topping, and cook the filling ingredients in a pan first before transferring to a casserole dish.
However, if you have one of those flameproof casserole dishes, like the Le Creuset ones you can cook the filling on the stove top directly in that. (In the US they’re called Dutch ovens.)
This sausage bean bake is really filling and could potentially serve 4-6 people depending on how big your appetite is.
This recipe for Sausage & Bean Bake serves 4 and is Free when Food Optimising.

Sausage & Bean Bake Recipe Tips
- First and foremost this is a Slimming World recipe, so it uses the Slimming World brand of frozen sausages which are FREE when Food Optimising.
- That said, you can use any kind of sausages – just make sure you work out their Syn value if you are on SW. And if you’re not on SW, then use whatever sausages you like, and don’t worry about it!
- If you don’t like butter beans, you could use other types of beans instead. Cannellini, haricot, and pinto beans would all work well.
- This dish could be made in advance, cooled down, and placed in the fridge until ready to cook through either later in the day, or the next day.
