sarahb, is your recipe the same.! I dont recall my mum heating up a dish, she just used a casserole dish, but greased it well. let us know please.

Same recipe - you heat the dish/tin by cooking the sausages in it first (at 220) until the fat runs out and sausages start to brown.Then you pour the batter into the hot fat, return to the oven and turn the heat down to 180.If the pan isn't hot the batter doesn't rise.
Oh hang on I didn't see the cuppasoup in your recipe - never done that - my kids love it just as it is, plain "yorkshire pudding" batter and sausages.They smother theirs in ketchup of course, hubby and I have onion gravy, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes with ours.

I can't imagine anything kids would like more than squeezing sausage meatballs out of the casing, frying them in olive oil and tossing them in some home-made tomato sauce with spaghetti :D

Why not just make meatballs with sausagemeat instead!
(My kids hate meatballs for some reason)

It's the squeezing out the sausage meat part they like. My little nephews used to laugh their heads off. Sounds like it won't work for your kids though.

Stuffed sausies! Boil and mash spuds. Cook sausies. Cut sausies half way through lengthwise, fill with mash, add a bit of tomato and cheese on top. Grill to melt cheese.

Wouldn't work for me either - sounds gross and pointless .
