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)

- Worcestershire sauce
- Flour (for thickening)
- Dijon mustard (optional)

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