For the Onion Gravy:

Instructions

Sausages:

Cook the Sausages:

  • Preheat the oven and cook according to instructions on packaging

Mashed Potatoes:

  • Boil the Potatoes:
    • While the sausages are baking, boil the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender.
  • Make Mashed Potatoes:
    • Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them using a potato masher or ricer. Add the milk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Onion Gravy:

Sauté Onions:

  • In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

Make Roux:

  • Sprinkle flour over the sautéed onions and stir well to form a roux. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Add Broth and Worcestershire Sauce:

  • Gradually pour in the beef or vegetable broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the gravy thickens.

Season:

  • Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

Serve

Feel free to add green peas or a side of steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal. This dish is often enjoyed with a dollop of mustard on the side.
