Sausage Shepherds Pie with Brussel Sprouts

With St Patricks Day coming up, I wanted to make a twist on a shepherds pie and I knew that Jones Dairy Farm Sausage would be perfect as the base of the recipe. For the potatoes on top, I was thinking of doing a play on colcannon by mixing brussel sprouts in, but at the last minute I decided it would be better to instead lay the sprouts on top of the potatoes and let them crisp up in the oven. It was a great choice and the blackened brussel sprouts really made this dish.

Lightly browned onions in the pan with the sausage.

Some corn and a can of tomato go in next.

The potatoes just have some butter and cream to soften them up.

Toss the sprouts with olive oil and salt before laying them on top of the taters.

When this comes out of the oven it’s hard not to just rip right into it!

Like I said earlier, the sprouts really make this dish.
