2 pinches ground pepper

Optional

100 ml red wine
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce can be replaced with 1 teaspoon soya sauce and ½ teaspoon of apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C (fan assisted setting)
Fry the sausages for 5 - 8 minutes on medium heat to give them colour. Use an oven-safe cast iron pot.
Set the sausages aside and fry the onion in the same pot until lightly golden. Add more oil if needed.
Sprinkle paprika, thyme and garlic over the browned onion, give it a quick stir and pour in the stock, tomatoes and wine.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and sugar and season with salt and pepper.
Insert the sausages back into the pot with the sauce, cover with a lid and put it in the preheated oven to 200C for 45 minutes.
Remove the pot from the oven stir in the baked beans. Lay the baguette slices over the top to cover the sausages and sauce, and sprinkle grated cheese all over.
Insert the dish back into the oven, this time without a lid, for an additional 15 - 20 minutes or until the cheese melted and the baguette edges are golden-brown.
