Sausage Casserole

[roadman]

What can i add to a sausage casserole?

i used packet seasoning but it turned out very nice i read the instructions did it all proper but i did swap out mushrooms for red pepper and i then added a load of chopped celery it was very nice what else could I add do you think for flavour but also to help bulk it out so it is less like a ratatouille maybe some potato but would they get soft and mush mash themselves i have only made it once i want to again

Celery is the one ingredient I will omit from any dish. I find it very overpowering and spoils the flavour of the other ingredients.

oh no in the casserole situation it goes very soft and absorbs a lot of flavours i also love celery in risottos and stuff

If I do a beef casserole, always add a few pieces of celery. Gives it a wonderful flavour.

To add body and taste to any stew or casserole add a dumpling mix to it while it's cooking. Make the mix the consistency of pancake batter since you are not actually making dumplings.

You can add a packet or 2 of Fajita spice mix

Grain mustard, whole or halved shallots, smoked or Hungarian paprika, roasted peppers, creme fraiche. I also like aubergine, though I realise they are an acquired taste.
You could always serve it in a jacket potato if you arecckncerned about mushy potatoes.
I find sausages also go well with cheesy baked cabbage. Finely shredded cabbage...cook gently with sliced onion or shallots until just tender, season. Put in a baking dish with lots of grated cheddar...maybe some garlic and herb Boursin too...pour a bit of cream over. Bake until golden and bubbly.
