Bangers & Mash with Guinness Onion Gravy

Irish O’ Garlic-style bangers or sausages and mashed potatoes are served with a Guinness-onion gravy for a traditional comforting meal.  Bangers and mash get its name because sausages used to burst or bang while cooking, due to dried bread being added to the meat.
