Sausages and Onion Gravy: Bangers and Mash! [Recipe with Video] (1)

Sometimes when I look through my blog recipes, I notice a lot of brown food ?? I guess it’s fair to say we all love a bit of comfort food! We definitely serve a lot of salads and vegetable sides with those cozy brown plates, ha!, but still – nothing beats a comforting home cooked dinner.

For this sausage recipe, I’m well aware you could just use a gravy mix and be done with it… But making the onion sauce from scratch is almost as quick as easy as using a mix, and it tastes a million times better!

? Step by Step

1 Brown the sausages really well on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside!

2 Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook over medium heat until soft and golden. Stir in minced garlic and flour, then deglaze with red wine (OR extra broth, if you don’t want to use alcohol). Keep stirring while you add the beef broth to make sure you don’t end up with a lumpy gravy, then simmer for a few minutes until the gravy has thickened slightly.

3 Add the sausages back into the gravy, toss to coat and simmer for a few more minutes. Dinner is done!
