My grandma prepared a wonderful British dinner for us on those chilly, stormy days.
| Prep Time: | 15 mins |
| Cook Time: | 45 mins |
| Total Time: | 1 hr |
| Servings: | 8 |
| Yield: | 8 servings |
Ingredients
- 8 large baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 teaspoons butter, divided
- ½ cup milk, or as needed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ pounds beef sausage
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix
- 1 cup water, or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, and mash with 1 teaspoon of butter, and enough milk to reach your desired creaminess. Continue mashing, or beat with an electric mixer, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until heated through. Remove from pan, and set aside. Add remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, and fry the onions over medium heat until tender. Mix gravy mix and water as directed on the package, and add to the skillet with the onions. Simmer, stirring constantly, to form a thick gravy.
- Pour half of the gravy into a square casserole dish so that is coats the bottom. Place sausages in a layer over the gravy (you can butterfly the sausages if you wish). Pour remaining gravy over them, then top with mashed potatoes.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until potatoes are evenly brown.

Only changes were to the mashed. I always use a little Dukes mayo to mine and a smidgen of half-n-half.
My husband made it with Irish Bangers (pre-packaged links from ALDI) and it was so tasty, I stuffed myself full. He served it with green peas and I had a beer with it. I’ve printed it out and it is filed with the favorites to become a regular rotation!
Awesome stuff!!! We used “Bangers” from the meat counter and they are just great. Always adjust to your taste, but these are really good!!!
Can skip the oven if you want to. I’ve prepared this dish with and without baking it. It’s a good dish either way.
I will make this every St Patrick’s day from now on.
My family raved about this dish. So very yummy.
10 Irish bangers, 1 box instant potatoes, 2 cups gravy mixed with 1 cup each of the trinity and a bag of Mexican style cheese over top. Served with some Italian bread. Some good. Next time, I think I’ll make my potatoes Colcannon style and add one more cup gravy.
made this dish but with the mash used sweet potatoes mixed with normal potatoes to and Cumberland bangers to give more flavours.
Pork bangers with gravy made from pan scrapings. Sweet potato mash with sugar and cinnamon. Blanched patty pans. Delicious
This was wonderful. I bought the sausage at a local co-op and they were very flavorful. This will go into the Must Make Again folder!
Husband cooked the bangers on the grill while I did the mash and gravy inside. I loved it!
My wife had her doubts and didn’t think she or our boys would enjoy this dish. I figured I would be dining alone. It must have been her half-English heritage kicking in because she and the boys gave it the official “this may return to the table” blessing. In fact, my wife pushed the casserole dish away asking for it to be removed from the table so she wouldn’t eat any more. I used Irish-Style Bangers that instructed they be cooked in a pan with a shallow (1/4″) pool of oil. I don’t think I even used that much, honestly. The sausages were browned perfectly and then I butterflied them. I’m not sure what size square casserole they used, but the amount of potatoes and sausages mandated I use a 9X12. I did cheat on one thing: I used bottled gravy instead of the powder packaged type. (I haven’t used it but my spider-sense told me jarred was going to be better.) After the onions were tender I threw in the gravy and let them cook until bubbly and heated thru. This will start us celebrating Boxing Day with this on the menu. And now onto Bubble and Squeak!
This was great!!!! My children who are picky eaters asked for seconds tonight. This will be a great winter recipe in our household.
For the gravy I used a reduced red wine gravy that added just a little tang! I also added creamed cheese and sour cream to the potatoes and used beer bratwurst for the sausage~ family loved it!
I thought this was quite good! I’d never had “bangers and mash,” but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Even my picky BF, who turned his nose up when he heard what we were having, really enjoyed the meal. Super easy..thanks.
Made this according to the recipe but with my fresh pork sausage and pork gravy. That was the only change I made to it. Went over very well with my picky children. Husband adored it.
Awesome. Used the recipe as noted, added fresh sliced mushrooms with the gravy and simmered while the potatoes boiled. Included fresh Brussels sprouts for the veggie side. Delicious, easy, filling!
It was breakfast time and I already had sausages, gravy, and mashed potato’s left over and in the fridge, so I pulled them out and put them in a casserole dish. It worked great, but if you are going to do it with refrigerated food, add another 10 minutes to the cook time.
Prepared this for my parents and they loved it. I used a packet French’s Brown Gravy.
tried it for first time in my life, really enjoyed the flavor.
It wasn’t good food; I gave the benefit of the doubt on the gravy mix, but it resulted in a salty onion sauce that resembled bad sauerbraten gravy more than anything.
