I am a huge fan of easy family dinners, and I know you are too so I aim to share more and more with you over the coming months. In the winter we love to use our slow cooker so look out for lots more recipes to come.

I am delighted to partner with Lee Kum Kee to bring you their amazing range of ready sauces. I wanted to showcase their Slow Cook Tangy Devilled Sausages sauce as this is a firm favourite in our house.

It takes the classic devilled sausages to an all new high with its rich warm tangy sauce with an Asian twist that our whole family enjoys. It is mild enough that the little ones love it but packed full of flavour with a savoury combination of tomato, soy, chilli, honey, pepper and garlic.

We always serve our devilled sausages with creamy mashed potato so I wanted to try to combine a sort of Shepherds Pie version of devilled sausages and it works so well!

All you will need is

• Sausages

• Onion

• Crushed Tomatoes

• Water

• Lee Kum Kee Tangy Devilled Sausages Ready Sauce

• Potatoes

• Butter

• Cream

• Salt & Pepper

The sausages cook quickly in the slow cooker – just two hours on HIGH or 4 on LOW then adding the mashed potatoes and baking until golden brown, this is ultimate comfort food and well worth taking these steps.

To create the Tangy Devilled Sausages is easy, simply brown off the sausages and onions, then add these to the slow cooker with a combination of crushed tomatoes, the Tangy Devilled Sausages ready sauce and some water. Then pop on the lid and leave the slow cooker to do all the work!

Near the end of the cooking time prepare the mashed potatoes and fire up the oven. I have diced the cooked sausages as it makes it simple to serve, popping these into an oven dish then pouring over the thickened sauce.

The key to the mashed potato is to make sure it is creamy and no lumps. With the sauce being quite liquid you want to dollop the mashed potato all over the top in small piles. This makes it easier to spread without disturbing the meat mixture underneath.

I then use a fork to create a rough finish so that this becomes golden brown when baked in the oven. You can add a sprinkling of cheese or parmesan or brush over some melted butter to create a delicious golden crust.

The finished product is a divine combination of creamy mashed potato and a tangy devilled sausages with a sauce that is absolutely delicious. I just know this will become a family favourite and highly recommend you seek out this Slow Cook sauce in your favourite supermarket.

I have yet to find a Lee Kum Kee product we don't love. The quality and flavours are divine.

Notes

Can I freeze this Shepherds Pie?

This will freeze well. Once assembled and before or after baking allow to cool then cover well and freeze. To reheat simply thaw in the refrigerator and bake in a hot oven until piping hot.

Can I just serve this with rice or salad instead of making a pie?

Absolutely! These Tangy Devilled Sausages are lovely with steamed vegetables, rice, salad or crusty bread to soak up the amazing sauce.

Can I make this on the stove top or oven instead?

Definitely! Prepare as above and cook in a cast iron pot or casserole dish until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly

Will this keep overnight after being baked?

Yes! This is delicious as leftovers the next day. Once cool cover well and store in the refrigerator. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven until piping hot inside.

I cannot wait to hear what you think of this one, be sure to let me know when you try it.

A huge thank you to Lee Kum Kee for partnering with me, such a joy to work with, they have become a pantry staple for us now and I love introducing their range to friends and family.
