This is a great simple family favourite that is easy to make in just 20 minutes. This tasty BBQ Sausage and Bean Casserole recipe is a one pot wonder that all the family can enjoy. It’s cheap to make, but filling and bursting with flavour. This recipe is for the pressure cooker, but you could easily pop it in the oven too, you just have to adjust the timings.
Although I don’t cook from fresh everyday (busy mum over here, I simply don’t have the time or energy!) I do try to make some basic family meal from scratch 2 or 3 times a week. Often I will resort to tried and tested recipes that we cook on repeat but I love trying out new recipes and developing our own. Thanks to our tastes (and allergies) I often have to adapt recipes to suit us. And now I love trying to adapt them to fit the Pressure Cooker too, as it only has made my life so much easier. Preparing meals in a fraction of the time is a life saver when you have a busy family. Plus it means I get to spend more time with Jon and Elian than I have to in the kitchen!

The Crock-Pot Express Pressure Cooker
The pressure cooker I have is the Crock-Pot Express Pressure Cooker which is a 12-in-1 programmable multi cooker. Apart from multiple different pre-timed pressure cooker settings, there is also a slow cooker setting, steam setting, sauté setting, dessert, yogurt and keep warm setting. So this awesome little device really does earn its space in your kitchen. Ive yet to use the steam, dessert or yogurt setting, but should I ever want to try a recipe which requires that setting then I will be able to.
This has now replaced my slow cooker permanently. I only need the 1 appliance in my kitchen to serve both functions. Which is great as I already have a small kitchen, so less bulky appliances to store. Win/win!
So far I have had no issues with my pressure cooker, and I am enjoying experimenting with some of my slow cooker and general recipes to try and adapt them to be pressure cooker friendly. Managing to cook dishes in a fraction of the time, or simply without the need to watch them/stir them/etc is proving very helpful in our daily lives.
Looking for more family friendly pressure cooker recipes?
We are still new to the whole Pressure Cooker world so we are always working on new recipes and adapting old ones, or adapting slow cooker recipes to make them compatible with the pressure cooker. You’ll find all our pressure cooker recipes here, most are family friendly and of course super simple! But if you don’t have a pressure cooker and are just after some great family meals how about our Tomato and Bacon Gnocchi or one of our great family friendly slow cooker dishes (they are all perfect for freezer dump bags!)

Why we love a good sausage casserole
I may be wrong but most kids like baked beans and sausages, right? So a simple meal using them as a base is a great place to start if your looking for a hearty dish that will be filling for all the family. Adding in good old fashioned basic root veggies is the best way to bulk up the dish and make it a full rounded one pot meal. Plus in this case all the ingredients are pretty cheap. I managed to make this for close to £4 and it actually fed the 3 of us for 2 meals!
