Bean & Sausage Hotpot is a classic British comfort food that brings together simple ingredients to create a flavorful and satisfying meal. This dish has roots in traditional home cooking, where humble beans and sausages were transformed into a warming casserole, perfect for feeding families during chilly evenings. The combination of the smooth butter beans and the rich tomato sauce provides a luscious texture, while the black treacle adds a subtle, deep sweetness that balances the tanginess of the tomato. The English mustard gives just the right hint of spice, elevating the dish beyond ordinary stews. This hotpot pairs wonderfully with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or with fluffy rice for a filler option. It’s an excellent choice for meal prep, as the flavors marry beautifully after resting, making leftovers even tastier the next day.

Ingredients

  • 8 large Sausages
  • 1 jar Tomato Sauce
  • 999.99 g Butter Beans
  • 1 tbl Black Treacle
  • 1 tsp English Mustard

Instructions

Begin by heating a large casserole dish over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook them slowly, turning frequently, until they are beautifully browned all over, which should take about 10 minutes. This process not only cooks the sausages but also develops their rich, savory flavor. Next, pour in the jar of tomato sauce and stir everything together thoroughly, allowing the sausages to meld with the tangy base. To the pot, add the butter beans, black treacle, and English mustard. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the sweetness of the treacle and the sharpness of the mustard spread evenly through the mixture. Bring the hotpot to a gentle simmer, then cover the dish with a lid. Allow it to cook for 30 minutes, letting the flavors deepen and the sauce thicken. Stir occasionally if you want to prevent sticking. For serving, ladle the rich, hearty hotpot into bowls and enjoy it with slices of crusty bread to mop up the luscious sauce or spoon it over a bed of fluffy rice. This dish is incredibly versatile and can be easily adapted with your favorite sausages or beans.
