Bangers and mash with onion gravy is a classic British comfort food featuring juicy beef sausages served over creamy mashed potatoes, topped with rich caramelized onion gravy. It’s a cozy, satisfying one-skillet meal perfect for chilly nights or any time you crave something hearty.

Ingredients

  • For the bangers and mash:
  • Beef sausages (any good-quality variety)
  • Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • Butter
  • Heavy cream or milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • For the onion gravy:
  • Yellow or sweet onions (thinly sliced)
  • Butter or oil
  • Beef broth or stock
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Flour (for thickening)
  • Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender.
  2. While potatoes cook, sear the sausages in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook onions in butter over medium-low heat until deeply golden and caramelized (about 15–20 minutes).
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Simmer the gravy until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard if desired.
  6. Mash the drained potatoes with butter and cream, then season to taste until smooth and fluffy.
  7. Plate the mashed potatoes, top with sausages, and spoon the onion gravy generously over everything. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken or plant-based sausages for a lighter version.
  • Add sour cream or cream cheese to mashed potatoes for extra richness.
  • Stir in peas or fresh chives for color and a fresh touch.
  • A splash of red wine in the gravy adds depth of flavor.
