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!
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.
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!

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.
