I can’t remember how I came across this Hairy Bikers recipe, but I’m really glad I did – it’s wonderful, warming, simple, filling, and we’ve had it almost weekly for a while now. Omit the bacon and use veggie sausages & stock and that would work too. Did I mention that I once danced with… Continue reading Sausage + bean stew
