At this time of year you really can’t beat a big bowl of sausages with mashed potato smothered in homemade gravy. There’s nothing quite like it on a cold Winter’s day!

You might think that making your own gravy is complicated but honestly it’s not.

the four steps of making sausages in onion gravy

How To Make Sausages in Onion Gravy

Simply fry the sausages in a pan and then remove them. In that same pan fry onions and garlic in butter, before adding flour and then stock.

Once the gravy has thickened the sausages are added back in to warm through. So easy!

I used turkey sausages in this recipe but you can use pork or chicken too. You could also use vegetarian sausages although check the cooking times on the packet as they probably won’t need as long frying as meat sausages.

I’ve served mine with mashed potato and peas. You can get my foolproof Mashed Potato recipe here. Or if you’re in a rush use the shop bought microwave mash. No one will ever know!

Storage Instructions

Leftovers can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave or on the hob.

This recipe can also be frozen in a freezer bag or container. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or on the hob.

If you fancy a low carb side dish instead then try my Broccoli Mash. Just as delicious but much lower in calories and carbs.

Description

Sausage and Mash has to be the ultimate comfort food. Take this classic dish to the next level with my Onion Gravy recipe. So tasty, like a hug in a bowl!


Ingredients

  • 0.5 tbsp oil
  • 8 sausages
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 500ml hot beef stock
  • 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
  • optional: chopped parsley

To Serve:

  • mashed potato
  • peas

Instructions

  1. Add the oil and sausages to a frying pan and cook on low for 15 minutes until the sausages are cooked through, turning regularly.
  2. Meanwhile slice the onion into thin rings.
  3. Remove the sausages from the pan and place them to one side in a bowl.
  4. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the flour, mix well and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Add the beef stock a little at a time, mixing well so as to remove any lumps.
  7. Add the Worcester sauce and cook for 3 minutes until the gravy has thickened.
  8. Add the sausages back into the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are warmed through.
  9. This is optional but you can add a little chopped parsley to the top.
  10. Serve immediately with mashed potato and peas.

Notes

I used turkey sausages for this recipe but pork, chicken or veggie sausages will work too. Veggie sausages may need less frying time in Step 1 so check the cooking instructions on the packet.

Leftovers can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave or on the hob. This recipe can also be frozen in a freezer bag or container. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or on the hob.
