Instructions
To Make the Sausages
-
Add the butter to a pan over medium high heat and allow it to melt down. Add in the olive oil.
-
Place the sausages in and fry on each side until browned. This should take about 4 minutes or so on each side. Set them aside on a plate.
To Make the Sausage Gravy
-
Add the onions to the same pan as the sausages. Allow them to fry, while stirring, until just about caramelized.
-
Place the garlic in and saute until fragrant. This will take about 2 minutes.
-
Add in the flour. Stir and cook for a minute or two until cooked.
-
Pour in half the broth and stir until combined. Add in the remaining broth, bring to a boil, and stir until it thickens.
-
Put the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in. Stir once again. Set aside for a few minutes.
To Make the Mashed
-
Add the potatoes to a pot of water and boil until fork tender. This should take 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the cubes. Drain.
-
Add the milk, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. You can put more milk in if necessary.
To Plate the Dish
-
Place the potatoes on a plate, put two of the bangers over the top, and spoon the onion gravy over. Spoon some peas on the side, serve, and enjoy.

Note
As mentioned earlier, I use bangers which you can buy in just about any grocery store. They are simply pork sausages. You can use any kind of sausage though. Sometimes Italian sausages provide a bit more flavour.
In terms of the seasoning, always adjust, omit, or add according to your liking.
For the beef broth, I always use Knorr which is a type of extract. It make a wonderful dark and rich gravy. You can, however, use beef cubes or stock broth if you wish.
