Sausage and Onion Gravy - Comfort Food Recipes You’ll Crave
There’s something oddly comforting about a plate of sausages swimming in rich onion gravy. I mean, tell me a dish that hugs your soul harder. This is one of those comfort food recipes that instantly makes you feel at home, even if the only thing in your fridge right now is milk that expired last week. Don’t worry, we’re not using that.
I’ve always had a soft spot for dishes that feel rustic and honest, and this one checks both boxes. When Gordon Ramsay first put his spin on this kind of recipe, I thought, ‘Alright, chef, let’s see if it’s worth dirtying three pans for.’ Spoiler alert: it is. Sure, he’s better known for a gordon ramsay turkey recipe or his legendary gordon ramsay beef wellington recipe, but trust me, this onion gravy recipe simple version is the underdog we’ve been waiting for.
So grab your sausages, and let’s make what could easily become your go-to easy sausage gravy recipe. It’s one of those chef recipes that doesn’t require you to shout at anyone in the kitchen. Unless you burn the onions, which I’ve done more times than I’d like to admit.
