Cowboy pie
The ultimate comfort food – sausages, mashed potatoes and baked beans, but with a cowboy twist! This is a hit with children and adults and if you serve it with lots of green veg it packs loads of nutrients and fibre.
I’m not saying this is a low energy meal, quite the opposite! But one of Nuush’s sayings is “Enjoy eating anything but not EVERYTHING!” Portion size is key.

Instructions
Cook the sausages until golden brown. I boil mine first then roast in the oven for 20-25 mins, in olive oil, on a moderate heat – about 180º.
To make the cowboy beans, fry the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft, then add the paprika, salt, sugar and mustard and stir to heat through and combine. Now add the baked beans, mustard and tomato purée and give it another good stir. Heat until the beans are hot.
There’s an alternative homemade smoky baked beans recipe here
In a shallow oven dish layer the cooked sausages then the beans, then the creamy mash, and finish with grated cheese.
Bake for 15 mins until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Serve with steamed Tenderstem broccoli
