Tips & Variations
- Veggie swap: Add carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- Spicy version: Use chorizo or Italian sausages with chili flakes.

- Meal prep: Keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheats nicely.
I can also give a creamy sausage bake version with cheese sauce and pasta for a more indulgent twist.
