The aim is to get a nice<strong> thick, rich gravy<\/strong> and here&#8217;s how we&#8217;re going to do it:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key components<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bacon<\/strong> &#8211; This adds loads of flavour. I use smoked bacon lardons but you could use any thick-cut bacon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sausages<\/strong> &#8211; I use Cumberland pork sausages but you could use any pork sausage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Veg<\/strong> &#8211; Onion, carrot and garlic pair beautifully with the sausages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gravy<\/strong> &#8211; This is made with butter, flour and beef stock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavour enhancers<\/strong> &#8211; To really take the gravy to the next level we&#8217;ve got some Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, dried herbs, black pepper and an Oxo\/Bouillon cube.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recycling the excess fat<\/h3>\n<p>You actually don&#8217;t need any oil to make this at all. You&#8217;ll start by rendering out the fat in the back in a dry pan. You can then use that to fry the sausages and can then use the excess fat to further fry the veg.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: fry bacon (photo 1), fry sausages (photo 2), fry onion, carrot &amp; garlic (photo 3), melt butter then stir in flour (photo 4), stir in stock then stir in flavour enhancers (photo 5), stir in sausages and bacon (photo 6)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"This sausage hotpot is ultra comforting and so simple to make!\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"6 step by step photos showing how to make sausage hotpot filling\" class=\"wp-image-27107 lazyload\" title=\"how to make sausage hotpot filling\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.holtmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/how-to-make-sausage-hotpot-filling-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sausage Hotpot<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created the gravy you shouldn&#8217;t need to simmer it to thicken. Just pour it into the baking dish and <strong>let it cool for 15 minutes<\/strong>. This will allow a <strong>skin to form across the top<\/strong>, which makes it much easier to top with the potatoes without them sinking in.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer to use baby potatoes on top, but you could use smaller regular potatoes if you&#8217;d prefer. Either way, just make sure they&#8217;re overlapped and <strong>cover as much of the filling as possible<\/strong>. From there, just brush with melted butter, generously season then bake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;ll be baking the hotpot twice<\/strong> &#8211; once with foil then once without. Cooking with foil is important to trap the steam and begin cooking the potatoes without the filling drying out. Cooking without is important to crisp up the potatoes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Process shots: cool filling (photo 7), top with potatoes then coat in butter and seasoning (photo 8), bake with foil (photo 9), remove foil and bake again (photo 10).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"744\" height=\"930\" data-pin-description=\"This sausage hotpot is ultra comforting and so simple to make!\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"4 step by step photos showing how to make sausage hotpot\" class=\"wp-image-27108 lazyload\" title=\"how to make sausage hotpot\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.holtmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/how-to-make-sausage-hotpot-744x930-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"744\" height=\"937\" data-pin-description=\"This sausage hotpot is ultra comforting and so simple to make!\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"close up overhead shot of sausage hot pot fresh out the oven\" class=\"wp-image-27112 lazyload\" title=\"sausage hot pot\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.holtmath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sausage-hot-pot-744x937-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Sausage Hotpot<\/h2>\n<p>I like to <strong>grill\/broil<\/strong> the top at the end to crisp up the potatoes. I recommend letting the hotpot sit for 5 or so minutes before diving in. This will let the filling chill out and reform shape a little. Plus it will be aggressively bubbling and you&#8217;ll lose the roof of your mouth eating it!<\/p>\n<p>From there I love finishing with some fresh chives, just for a final pop of colour and flavour. I typically don&#8217;t serve with any Side Dishes, but you can if you&#8217;re stretching it to 5 people.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more delicious hotpots check out my <a

Remove and place to one side, leaving the fat behind. Raise the heat slightly then fry the sausages until browned (don&#039;t focus on cooking them through, they continue cooking later). Remove the sausages and place to one side, leaving any excess fat behind.

If the pan dries out just add in some of the butter. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds or so, then melt the butter. Stir in the flour to create a roux then gradually add in the stock, stirring as you go to avoid lumps. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, herbs, pepper, Oxo and Dijon then stir in the bacon and chopped sausages (with any resting juices). Pour into the baking dish and leave for 15 minutes or until a skin forms over the top.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-27103-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\"><span>Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C\/350F.

They&#8217;re also fatty, meaning you can recycle to excess fat in the pan and keep the flavour. They&#8217;re sold in most supermarkets, but you could sub thick-cut bacon if you can&#8217;t find them. I love using smoked for the extra layer of flavour.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Sausages<\/strong> &#8211; I use regular Cumberland sausages (no added flavour combos or anything). Although you can use any you fancy &#8211; just make sure they&#8217;re pork. For reference, 6x pork sausages are 400g\/14oz.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Pre ahead<\/strong> &#8211; Make up until the point you&#8217;ve added the filling to the baking dish then let it completely cool. Tightly store in the fridge for 1-2 days, then take out, top with the potatoes and bake as instructed. I&#8217;d take it out the fridge before you start prepping the potatoes, just to take the chill out of the filling.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d)
