Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

My daughter loves sausages and likes dipping them in mashed potatoes, so I surprised her with bangers and mash with onion gravy. The gravy had a nice tang from the Worcestershire sauce. This delicious and easy bangers and mash recipe paired nicely with juicy brats, creamy mashed potatoes, an Irish root salad and some crusty bread. This meal was a big hit with both kids and my husband, who took the leftovers to work today. I have a feeling my daughter will be requesting this meal again soon.

Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Onion Gravy:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, sliced thinly
• 1  clove of garlic, minced
• ½ tbsp flour
• ¼ cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Mashed Potatoes:

• 3 russet potatoes, peeled & cut into thirds
• ⅓ cup milk
• 3 tbsp butter, to taste
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Bratwurst:

• Cooking spray
• 5 Bratwurst sausages (or sausage of choice)

How to Make Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Make the onion gravy by placing the butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Add the minced garlic and flour, then cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Slowly add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce while stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes by cooking potato chunks in a large pot of salted boiling water until fork-tender.

Warm the milk and butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot.

Add the milk/butter to the potatoes along with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Mash using a hand masher until creamy and smooth. Taste and re-season if needed. Place the lid on the potatoes until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, cook the sausages by heating a grill pan coated with olive oil spray over medium-high heat.

Add the bratwurst to the pan and cook, flipping occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, making sure all sides of the bratwurst get grill marks and the sausages are cooked through.

To serve, spoon some potatoes into a bowl, then top with onion gravy and a bratwurst. Sprinkle the top with freshly chopped parsley.

Serve immediately. Enjoy.
