SAUSAGES are always favourite family fodder.

With varieties for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, they’re one of the most good-value and versatile foods you can buy.

We have six cheap family meals you can make using simple sausages

Amazing with mash and brilliant with beans, there’s also a host of other ways to serve up a banging banger.

Here’s my top six ways to make your sausages sing.

MAGIC MEATBALLS: Use your sausages to make amazing, easy meatballs.

Morrisons Italian Style Pork Sausages, 400g, £2.75 — or buy two for £5 — will make meatballs an Italian Nona would be proud of.

Squeeze the insides out of the sausages and roll into walnut-size balls. Fry them then add to a tomato sauce and serve with pasta.

CREAMY COMFORT: Pork and apple sausages make a perfect West Country-style creamy dish.

Fry them with onion, then braise them in cider and, finally, add some cream before serving with buttery mash.

Aldi’s Bramley Apple Pork Sausages, 400g, £2.39, make a sizzling start.

FAMILY FAVOURITE: Sausage casserole is the perfect winter warmer for this time of year.

Use your choice of sausages and add leftover vegetables, a can of pulses and Asda’s Sausage Casserole Mix, 30p, for an instant family favourite.

CHRISTMAS CRACKER: Cooking up sausage rolls? Make short work of it with the recipe at Morrisons.com.

All you need along with sausages is a pack of ready rolls Jus Rol puff pastry, £1.25, and a jar of Market Street Deli Caramelised Onion Chutney, £1.25, both Morrisons, and you’re ready to roll.

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE: Spice up a Mexican or Spanish-style dish with spicy sausages.

Asda’s Triple Chilli Sausages, 400g, £2.95 or two for £5, can be served with nachos, salsa and guacamole for a new twist on a family favourite.

PARTY PIECE: Turn the humble banger into a humdinger of a party dish using the cocktails sausages recipe at Nigella.com.

The queen of Christmas food uses sesame oil, soy sauce and honey to create a sweet savoury dish that’s impossible to resist.
