Sticky Sausage and Onion Traybake

Traybakes are the lazy cook’s best friend and this one is a proper winner. Sausages, potatoes and onions roasted together on one tray with a sticky honey-mustard glaze is the kind of meal that looks like it took effort but actually took 10 minutes of chopping and then the oven did all the work. At 78p a portion it is cheaper than any ready meal and tastes better too. The honey-mustard glaze in the last 5 minutes is what makes it special – the sausages go all sticky and caramelised and the potatoes soak up the juices.

Total cost: £3.10 (£0.78 per portion) – Serves 4 people. Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 35 mins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 people
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: british

Ingredients
  

  • 6 value pork sausages
  • 500g potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 large onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/Gas 6. Put the potato wedges and onion wedges in a large roasting tin. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  2. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn everything over.
  3. Nestle the sausages in amongst the potatoes and onions. Return to the oven for 20 minutes until the sausages are golden and the potatoes are crispy.
  4. Mix the honey and mustard together. Brush or drizzle over the sausages in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Serve straight from the tray with a green vegetable or baked beans on the side.

Tips and Variations

Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges so they all cook at the same rate. Any sausages work but smoked ones are particularly good. Add a few carrots or parsnips to the tray for extra veg. The honey mustard glaze burns easily so only add it in the last 5 minutes.
