Lou Robbie's ‘Cowboy Supper’ Sausage & Bean Casserole

Ingredients
1-2 tbsp cooking oil
6 sausages, cut into quarters (450g)
2 onions, finely chopped
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 bay leaf
1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato purée
600ml hot beef stock
1 x 400g tin of cannellini beans, drained
chopped fresh parsley, to serve

Method
Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the sausages all over, then put them into the slow cooker. This step is important because the sausages won’t brown in the slow cooker. If you have time, brown the onions in the frying pan too, as this will give a better flavour to the finished dish.
Add all the rest of the ingredients except the cannellini beans and parsley to the slow cooker and cook either on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours.
Add the drained beans 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve with crusty bread and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
