🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Boil potatoes until fork tender; mash with butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper until velvety.
  2. 2
    Cook sausages in skillet over medium heat for 12-15 mins, turning often until browned and cooked through. Remove to plate.
  3. 3
    In same skillet, melt butter and add sliced onions and brown sugar. Cook over medium-low for 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  4. 4
    Stir in flour for 1 minute.
  5. 5
    Slowly pour in ale and beef stock, stirring constantly. Add Worcestershire sauce and simmer for 5 minutes until gravy is glossy and thick.
  6. 6
    Mound mashed potatoes onto warm plates, arrange 2 plump sausages on top, and ladle generous ladles of onion gravy over everything.
💡 Chef's Insider Tip: Do not prick the sausages with a fork before frying! Pricking lets the juices escape, leaving the sausage dry.
