Sausage stew is one of my go to mid-week dinners. It’s so comforting and something the whole family enjoys. A sausage stew is a little different to a sausage casserole, due to it being cooked in one pan on the hob – making it quick and easy, and the tidy-up is easier too.
If you have a air fryer, I’d recommend you also check out my recipe of how to make a sausage casserole in the air fryer too, it’s very hands off and delicious.
This sausage stew recipe is flavoured with onions, garlic, paprika and tomatoes for a rich and delicious sauce. I tend to serve it alongside mash and some crusty bread, but it’s also lovely with peas and broccoli if you’d prefer.
How to make a classic sausage stew
Scroll down for recipe card and ingredient list
1. Begin by preparing the veg – roughly chop the peppers and peeled onion, peel and crush the garlic cloves and make up your stock.
2. Then heat some oil in your pan over a medium heat
3. Add your sausages and brown on all sides – when they’re mostly browned and just one side needs more colour, add in the onions and cook for a further few minutes, browning that final side of the sausage and getting a little colour on the onions, too
4. Then, add in the crushed garlic, spices and peppers – then, stir to cook and cook for a further 2 minutes
5. Then, add in the tinned tomatoes and stock, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer.
6. Cook, uncovered, simmering for 20-40 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to your liking (you can make your mash in this time if you’re serving it alongside). Stir often to ensure the sauce doesn’t stick. Then, serve and enjoy!
