Preheat the oven to 200ºC fan bake.
Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a cast iron dish over medium heat. Brown the sausages on all sides, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
Add the remaining oil along with the sliced onions and crushed garlic. Sauté until softened.
Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar; cook for 1 minute.
Add the butter, and once melted, sprinkle in the flour and dried herbs. Stir until combined.
Dissolve the stock cube in the boiling water and pour it into the dish, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 1 minute.
Chop the cooled sausages and return them to the dish. Season to taste and mix well.
Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes over the sausage mixture and sprinkle with half of the grated cheese. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese.
Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden.
Serve hot with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.

Use chicken or herb sausages for a different flavor.

Add mushrooms or carrots to increase the vegetable content.

Sprinkle rosemary or thyme over the top for extra aroma.

Use cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend.

Pie freezes well for up to 2 months.
