🍽️ Ingredients

🔹 For the Sausages and Gravy

• ◾️ Beef Sausages: Choose high-quality, full-fat sausages for the best flavor.
• ◾️ Extra Light Olive Oil or Avocado Oil: Helps sear the sausages evenly.
• ◾️ 1 Large Onion (thinly sliced): Adds natural sweetness and depth.
• ◾️ 2 Cloves Garlic (minced): Enhances the savory flavor.
• ◾️ 1–2 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour: Thickens the gravy for a smooth texture.
• ◾️ 2 Cups Beef Stock: Forms the rich base of your onion gravy.
• ◾️ Salt and Black Pepper: To taste and balance flavors.

🔹 For the Mash

• ◾️ Mashed Potatoes: Use your favorite — Asiago Herb, Garlic Butter, or Creamy Buttermilk Mash all work beautifully.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

👉 Step 1: Prepare the Sausages

• ➡️ Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 🔥
• ➡️ Add the sausages and cook until golden brown on all sides.
• ➡️ Lower heat slightly and cook through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). ✅️
• ➡️ Remove the sausages and set aside, keeping the flavorful drippings in the skillet.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t rush this step — slow searing adds rich, savory flavor to your gravy later.

👉 Step 2: Make the Onion Gravy

• ➡️ Add sliced onions and garlic 🧄 to the same skillet.
• ➡️ Sauté over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes until golden and caramelized. 🔥
• ➡️ Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to coat evenly.
• ➡️ Gradually pour in beef stock, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
• ➡️ Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened and glossy. ✅️
• ➡️ Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

💡 Pro Tip: If your gravy gets too thick, add a splash of warm stock or water to loosen it.

👉 Step 3: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

• ➡️ While your gravy simmers, make your favorite mashed potatoes 🥔 — creamy and well-seasoned.
• ➡️ For extra indulgence, mix in a knob of butter and grated cheese before serving. ✅️

👉 Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
