How do I make it?
- Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling water until soft. Drain and mash with 1 tablespoon of butter and ¼ cup milk. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a frying pan, heat olive oil, add onion and cook over medium-high heat until the onion has softened. Add sausages, chilli and garlic and cook until the sausages have browned. Add in beans and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove all ingredients from pan and set aside for later.
- Over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter to the frying pan. When the butter has melted add flour and cook for a minute, stirring constantly. Slowly incorporate the remainder of the milk, whisking constantly and cook until thickened. Stir in half the grated cheese and half the parmesan cheese and set aside.
- Lightly spray an oven proof dish with cooking spray. Transfer the mashed potatoes to the dish and cover with the sausage and bean mix. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes and sausages. Sprinkle remaining cheeses on top and bake in a 180C oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
- Serve with green vegetables or a garden salad.
