I’m a big fan of pies, especially when winter comes around! Previously on my blog, I’ve posted a recipe for Veggie Cottage Pie which is another of my favourites. Whether you eat meat, or you’re vegan/vegetarian, this Sausage & Bean Pie recipe can be made with real sausages, or meat-free ones.
With plenty of nutrients, Sausage & Bean Pie is a great family favourite and ideal for meal prep.
