Then I thought…hmm…why not add some chilli con carne type spices to the beef: Cayenne, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic power, coarse black pepper and salt nb salt not needed, but didn't kill the dish..this is after the fact.

So, all cooking away. I dunno..twenty mins. Turn the sausages and tats, and mix the mince. Took a quick sample and thought..hmm..I wonder what Kenji's sauce mix would do. So, did that, and put back into the oven for five mins or so. Turned sausages again, took a quick taste and wow. Then thought…oh yeah…basil…didn't have any, so added half tablespoon of cheap pesto. Put back in oven, turned off and let residual heat brown the sausages and finish off the potatoes.

Bloody lovely. Maybe a full tablespoon of pesto, but this worked out brilliantly. Sausages cooked nicely too, and so a flash freeze for future use. Potatoes not so great re: crispy, but cooked through to a nice texture. Not a bad effort considering the bottle of cheap Malbec that preceded the cooking. That sauce mix is excellent.
