8 large baking potatoes, peeled
and quartered
2 teaspoons butter, divided
1/2 cup milk, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds beef sausage
1/2 cup diced onion
1 (.75 ounce) package dry
brown gravy mix
1 cup water, or as needed
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes
in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook
until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, 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.
2. 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.
3. Pour half of the gravy into a square casserole dish so that is
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.
4. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until
potatoes are evenly brown.
