Attempting Homemade Sausage 15 Years Later
I cannot believe it’s been 15 years since I last made homemade sausage. Making them is a process, to say the least. They aren’t hard to make, but it is a time labor of love.
While I’ve got homemade sausage, why not make bangers and mash?
This classic homemade Bangers and Mash that is topped off with a rich caramelized onion gravy is the perfect family meal. The flavors in this easy-to-make meal make it an excellent weeknight recipe.
