Hearty Vegetarian Sausage Casserole: A One-Pot Comfort Meal

This one-pot vegetarian sausage casserole is a comforting, flavour-packed dish that’s perfect for a cosy meal. Cooked in a rich and smoky tomato sauce, it’s one of our family’s favourite dinners, especially on chilly evenings. The deep flavours of smoked paprika, tomatoes, and herbs pair beautifully with the hearty texture of cannellini beans and red peppers. Every bite is warming, satisfying, and packed with plant-based goodness.

The sausages are gently simmered in the sauce, soaking up all the delicious flavours, making this dish both simple and incredibly tasty. Ready in about 40 minutes, it’s a quick and easy option for busy weeknights. Serve it with creamy mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal, or pair it with crusty bread to soak up every last bit of the smoky tomato sauce. Either way, it’s a dish that brings warmth to the table with minimal effort.

🌱 MAKE IT VEGAN :  For a completely vegan version, simply swap the vegetarian sausages for your favourite plant-based alternative. This recipe is also easily adaptable—add extra vegetables like carrots, courgettes, or mushrooms for even more flavour and nutrition. Whether you’re cooking for the whole family or meal-prepping for the week, this hearty sausage casserole is a satisfying dish that everyone will love.

Looking for more inspiration for a meal full of Mediterranean flavours? Try my vegan One Pot Spanish Quorn Chicken & Rice. This is another fuss-free family dinner that will delight everyone whether they eat meat or not.

I hope you enjoy this vegetarian sausage casserole recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
