Bangers and Mash
Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 teaspoon butter, divided
1/4 cup milk, or as needed
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 pound beef sausage
1/4 cup diced onion
1/2 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix
1/2 cup water, or as needed
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Drain potatoes, and mash with 1 teaspoon of butter, and enough milk to reach your desired creaminess. Continue mashing, or beat with an electric mixer, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
4. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until heated through. Remove from pan, and set aside. Add remaining teaspoon of butter to the skillet, and fry the onions over medium heat until tender. Mix gravy mix and water as directed on the package, and add to the skillet with the onions. Simmer, stirring constantly, to form a thick gravy.
5. Pour half of the gravy into a square casserole dish so that it coats the bottom. Place sausages in a layer over the gravy (you can butterfly the sausages if you wish). Pour remaining gravy over them, then top with mashed potatoes.
6. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until potatoes are evenly brown.

Sorry, you lost me with "packet dry brown gravy mix" . . . I know English food is supposed to be nasty, but please - if you can take the trouble to boil and mash potatoes, you can make up some gravy in the skillet!

Although humans have mechanisms that can offset the effects of appropriate combinations of food, always good to take advantage offered by scientific advances and studies which lead us to a diet much more sophisticated and much better for body.

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case

To some people, summer means sun bathing and getting a tan (or displaying their newly bought bikini) in the beach but to those sports-minded people, summer is spelled as F-U-N. Fun under the sun!
