Night 12 of Olympic Meals - England!

I bet a lot of you are saying finally!  Yes finally, England!  I couldn't do all the expected countries in the same week;)  So what did I make - Bangers and Mash!  I'm hoping one of my mom's best friends, who posts comments on here, tries my recipes more than anyone else, and sends me dessert recipes will critique me and tell me how it's really supposed to be made since she's from England!

What you'll need:

• Enough mashed potatoes for 6 servings
• 1.5 lbs beef sausage
• 1/2 cup diced onion - my pieces were a bit chunkier
• 1 (.75 oz) packet dry brown gravy mix
• 1 cup water

Preheat oven to 350.  Make mashed potatoes as normal, or if you're like me and for some reason can't make good mashed potatoes, make them out of the box:)

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage in about a 1/2 inch water, sprayed with Pam, covered, until heated thru.  Remove from pan and set aside.  Fry the onions in the leftover water until tender. 

Mix gravy packet with 1 cup water and add to the skillet with the onions.  Heat to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Once thickened, turn down heat to low and simmer for about 1 minute to let it thicken even more.

Pour half of the gravy mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 pan.  Top with sausages, then the rest of the gravy mixture, then the mashed potatoes.  Bake for 20 minutes, or until potatoes start to brown a bit on top.

Yum!  The husband can't wait to go tell his English boss what he had for dinner tonight;) 

 

  

I'm very nervous about tomorrow night!  Any guesses?  Is anyone else soooo tired from staying up watching these Olympics?!?  I love them, but I can't wait until I can start going to bed early again!  And catch the finale of the Bachelor;)

See you all tomorrow night:)
