Bangers and Mash with Onion Stout Gravy

March 15, 2021

I like to use my local Irish Stout for this recipe, but use your favorite! We have enjoyed the different artisan ales Cahaba brewing is throwing out. This one was good and perfect for this Irish recipe! Also, I've used Guinness and an Aldi brand named MaGuires and they have all turned out so good!!!

You can make your own Pork Bangers or you can just pick some premade Bangers which are usually out seasonally. These came from Aldi.

They are different in flavor than Bratwurst and a bit more mushy however, Brats would be a go-to if that's your only choice or preference. 

Let's start out by peeling 4 potatoes and chopping. Add to a stockpot and cover with water. Boil for 20 minutes until fork tender. 

Meanwhile, in a cast iron skillet, heat to med high. Melt 2 TBS of butter and add Bangers. Cook on one side for 4 minutes or until toasted (I like mine with a little char) and 4 minutes on the other side. 

Add sliced onion on top bangers.

Gently pour in stout beer, salt and pepper.

Gently boil for 10 min and onions are soft. 

While the bangers are cooking the potatoes should be ready. Drain, return to pot. Add irish butter. 

With a potato masher, smash the potatoes and butter. Add the parmesan cheese, heavy cream, garlic podwer, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference. My family loves salty potatoes so I end up adding a lot more. 

Return back to the bangers. Remove bangers from onion amd stout and set to the side. Add flour to the stout and onion. Stir in and slowly add beef broth. Stir until thickened into a gravy and all lumps havr dissolved. 

Serve bangers beside a bed of mash potaoes and pour on a nice, delicious helping of stout onion gravy. Slainte!!!!
