Sausage & Cider Casserole.

Fairly straightforward casserole.

6-8 Pork & Apple Sausages (good ones).
250g Bacon - chopped.
500ml dry cider
2 apples (try to get cooking apples, but they are so hard to find these days I had to settle for eating apples) - peeled, cored & chopped.
4 carrots - chopped.
1 lrg onion
Flour
Sage (6 leaves)
Lemon Thyme (handful of sprigs)

Cook up the sausages and bacon on a low heat for 10-15 mins, then set aside.
Fry up the onion in the same pan, until starting to turn transparent. Add more oil if necessary - don't burn it. Add in the carrots after a few minutes, and the apple just before done.
Return the sausages and bacon to the pot and dust with flour. Stir in.
Add the Cider and herbs. Bring to the boil.
Cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

I imagine this could serve 4 if accompanied by mash.
