Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the carrots, parsnips and onion in a deep baking dish or casserole, and toss in the oil. Season well and roast for 20 mins. Add the pigs in blankets and roast for a further 10-15 mins or until the bacon begins to crisp a little.

  • step 2

    Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Add the vinegar to the baking dish. Cook for another 40 mins. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Swirl through the cream, if using, and scatter over the chopped herbs. Serve with mashed potatoes or leftover roasties.

RECIPE TIPS

LEFTOVER COOKED PIGS IN BLANKETS?

If you've aleady cooked the pigs in blankets, add them with the vinegar, instead of earlier. 

LEFTOVER ROASTIES?

To serve with leftover roast potatoes, put them on a baking tray and lightly crush with the back of a fork so they split. Heat in the oven alongside the casserole for 40 mins.

Do you add a sausage casserole mix & water please? No mention of it in the method, but does in the reviews & comments. Thank you

Hi, thanks for your question. This recipe doesn't use the sausage casserole mix. However an earlier version of the same recipe did. It used a packet of sausage casserole mix made up according to packet instructions (which should be about 300ml water) and this was then added along with the vinegar in…

Just looking at the recipe again as I haven’t made it in a while. No mention of the sausage casserole mix. I s it mixed with 300ml of water? I had a feeling that it was less.

Hi, thanks for your question. You're right that the original recipe included a packet of sausage casserole mix made up according to packet instructions (which should be about 300ml water). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

This is an absolute favourite in our house! Came to make it yesterday and discovered to my horror that I'd accidentally bought the schwartz sausage casserole sachet rather than colemans. Thankfully still tasted delicious!

This is absolutely delicious I used red onions, red pepper, carrots and mushrooms instead.

Really nice. I browned the‘pigs’ first. Also added mushrooms. As my oven was playing up, I put everything in at the same time. Added the liquid as per recipe, but did have to finish it off on the hob although that might have been down to the oven. Will definitely make again.
