Chilli Sausage Bake with Crushed Potatoes - ready in 30 mins

Its cold..... brrrr...... and I fancy something hearty but still low in fat as I'm trying to be good. Had a great day promoting gastronamis and supporting another charity. Didn't really have time tonight to prepare a lot but I came up with quick and easy mid week meal. Hubby loved it!

  meatballs)
