Bangers and Mash


My Husband and I love this Irish Pub in our home town. The first time that he took me there I had something called bangers and mash. It is something that was so rich and good the flavors were amazing. 

1. One package of Beer Brawts.
2. One whole Onion coarsely chopped
3. One package of button mushrooms
4. One box of instant potatoes 
5. One beer of your liking
6. 2 table spoons of flour
7. One can of chicken broth or a half a cup of milk

Again use butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and what ever spices you like. Never be afraid to adventure away from this. Cooking is fun.


Take the package of beer brawts, onion and mushrooms in a skillet over medium high heat. The reason why they call this "bangers and mash" is because the sausage casings will start getting this golden brown and it make a banging sound as the casing starts to break open. Make sure all the around the casing get some color, onions will get golden brown, and mushrooms should be closed to cooked through. Pour the beer of your liking into the skillet. Get all the good bits at the bottom, cover and for another 10-15 minutes until sausage cooked through.

Make your instant mash potatoes accordingly.

Remove meat from the skillet and add flour and about the about a table spoon butter. Let everything cook through so there is not a flour taste. Add Either milk if you like white gravy or broth if you like darker gravy.

Enjoy this with the same beer you used to cook.
