Apparently, this is a well-known recipe to a lot of people, but I had never heard of it until sometime last year! Anyway, I thought I would share one of many versions because it's really simple to make especially gluten-free!
Cowboy Pie - serves 6
4-5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
Butter
Olive oil
350g gluten-free sausages - I used the Co-op's 'Truly Irresistable' chipolatas as all of this range are gluten-free
1 large onion, sliced
1 tin of baked beans
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
2 finely chopped garlic cloves
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 gluten-free beef stock cube
handful of grated mature cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
Boil the potatoes until tender. Mash with butter and seasoning and leave to cool in the pan.
Fry the onions with garlic and herbs in a large frying pan and add the sausages. Cook until the onions are soft and the sausages are brown on all sides.
Add to the pan the whole tin of baked beans and tomatoes and the stock cube. Season to taste.
Empty the pan into a large casserole dish and top with the mashed potato. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees.
