How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sausage Casserole With Apple Tomato Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Wrap each sausage with 1-2 slices of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté 1 medium diced onion and 1 medium diced apple in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the apple and onion mixture to an oven-safe casserole dish.
  5. Arrange the bacon-wrapped sausages on top of the apple and onion mixture.
  6. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 250g diced tomatoes, 1/2 green bell pepper (diced), and sauté for 3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  8. Gradually whisk in 250ml chicken stock, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the sausages in the casserole dish.
  10. Cover the casserole dish with a lid and bake for 45 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  11. Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes before serving with dauphinoise potatoes.
