Description

Bangers and Mash is a fun, Irish way to say “sausage and mashed potatoes,” both of which would be a hit with the kids and adults alike. To take it up another notch, I made the Bangers in an onion Guinness sauce and added some kale to the mashed potatoes to give it that festive flair. So, if you are looking for a tasty and quick meal for St. Patrick’s Day, go make some Bangers and Mash!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Or Canola Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 6 whole Irish Bangers Sausage. I Found Mine At Trader Joes
  • 1 cup Diced Onion, About 1/2 Large
  • ¼ cups Guinness Beer
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • ½ Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 3 cups Your Favorite Mashed Potatoes, About 5-6 Servings
  • ½ cups Kale, Rinsed And Chopped Into Manageable Bites

Preparation

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil and butter until butter is melted. Brown your Irish Bangers until they are crispy on all sides. Add chopped onion and allow it to cook with the sausage until soft and slightly browned. Add Guinness beer to de-glaze the pan. Next, sprinkle flour over the onions in your pan and stir to coat. Cook just until lightly browned. Add beef broth and Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Lower heat to medium-low. Cover pan and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. If you need to thicken your sauce a little more, simply add a tablespoon of cornstarch to 1/4 cup cold water and whisk this mixture into your sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.

Please know that I am totally not going to tell you how to make your mashed potatoes, nor will I judge you either way. You know how you and your family like them. If you are making them from scratch, add the chopped kale to the water during the last 5 minutes as you are boiling your potatoes. Then continue making the mashed potatoes as you normally would. If you are making instant, simply add the kale to the water as you are bringing it to boil.

Serve your Bangers over a heaping pile of mashed potatoes. ENJOY!

I already reviewed this a while back but I just wanted to add that I still LOVE this recipe! I make it at least once a month. AMAZING!

Fantastic! Made this for dinner the other night with Johnsonville’s Irish Garlic sausage. We had bought it a few weeks ago, right before St. Paddy’s day and froze it… and I am so bummed that they don’t make it all year! My family LOVED it and wanted more. Unfortunately it seems to be a once a year deal. Bummer.

At any rate, the kids LOVED it and asked for seconds. Huge hit! Thanks for the meal idea!

I’m not a girl who loves food like this, but made it tonight and had to say it was fabulous! I don’t have a Trader Joe’s here and have no idea as to what actual Irish Sausage is, so I purchased Boar’s Head beef knock wurst. I followed the recipe exactly and it will become one I’ll definitely go to again!

These were great! Thanks for the idea. I just made a big batch and took it to my husband and his co-workers since they have to work on St. Patty’s day. They were a big hit!

I made this for St. Patrick’s Day this year and it was a huge hit, super easy and delish. I used my own mashed potato recipe and added the kale as I was mashing. I cooked the bangers accordingly but left them on a low simmer until it was time to eat. I paired it with brussel sprout, baby cabbage, it you will! Everyone made a happy plate.

well i can’t imagine how amazing the recipe would have been had i followed it exactly. as it was, i was out of beer so i used white wine and exchanged green onions for the kale. what a fantastic dish! btw…found the bangers at Costco – no additives! Thanks for a great recipe!

Hubby made this for me for Valentines Day. He was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out, and I LOVED it! Fairly easy to put together too. We used Bratwurst from Sam’s Club.
