Very good as a casserole. Although I have had traditional British bangers and mash and the sausage and gravy had a lot more spice. I don't like canned or package gravy and always make my own when ever possible. So when I make it again, I will def. get proper bangers sausage and spice up my gravy to make it a more traditional flavour . But all and all, this is definitely a great knock off on the traditional bangers and mash only in casserole style!

I am sorry but I wasn't taken with this recipe. I made it as written with the exception of having slightly more onion and used 3 large russet potatoes. I very much agree with the last reviewer who felt that the better the gravy, the better the dish. I am sure if it were made with homemade gravy or a top quality premade type it would improve the dish for my own taste. I used a package of McCormick brown gravy mix and really didn't care for the taste of the sauce. I also think also that the quality of sausage, even between beef sausages, will of course make a difference. I used very plain unspiced beef sausage and wonder if something with a bit of heat wouldn't be an improvement. But, Amanda Fair, I do appreciate your taking the time to share your grandmother's recipe. I may try this again with the above changes. Thank you.

I used spicy italian sausage and canned gravy. Sausage was good, gravy was good, mashed potatoes was good. The recipe itself is pretty simple to make and is pretty good meal, but it's time consuming making your own mash potatoes. Now something you want to make on a hot summer day.

I made this for an 'Around-the-World' party and everyone loved it. I made one or two changes: Rather than the more 'traditional' beef link sausage, I used ground sage pork sausage. Ground sausage is easier to work with and goes a lot further when making this for a party. I also used maragrine rather than butter in the recipe, but put a couple dollops of real butter on top of the mashed potatoes before popping it in the oven

This is obviously a comfort food like Mac & Cheese. Good gravy makes it. If your gravy isn't good, the dish will suffer.

This recipe tasted exactly like what I had in Ireland last week. I used Bratwurst and doubled the gravy. Delicious!

We ate the whole pan. I loved it. It's a little labor (and pan) intensive for such a simple dish, but totally worth it. It's a wonderful comfort food for sure.

awesome recipe, it's back to basics here! It's the ultimate English comfort food and my children and I love comfort food. I like cooking COMFORT FOOD recipes from every culture and the bangers and mash is a perfect iconic plate that satisfies english middle class families. the potatoes get the flavor of the gravy and the sausages when fried in the pan get "firm" but get nice and soft when baked under all those dreamy potaotes. This is something we make almost every week!

Absolutely delicious! Followed the advice of another reviewer and added mushrooms to the gravy. Served with steamed veggies and fresh rolls to soak up the gravy. Everyone enjoyed it...will definately make again!

Ah, bangers and mash! This recipe is pretty good, though there are certain specifications and alterations I would make. First, 'pork sausages' are a very bland description of a banger. You have to get irish sausages or bangers, not just plain pork sausages. Also, the gravy suggestion for this recipe is pretty weak...try using a fresh mushroom and onion gravy, it's much better. Other than that, its good stuff. ;]

This is NOT bangers and mash. Rather, it is a low rent version of a shepherd's pie. Bangers and mash is a dinner of sausages with mashes potatoes on the side, served with a tasty gravy. A true bangers and mash does not call for mixes or premade gravy. As for taste, it was mediocre at best.

I always make bangers and mash on the rare occasions that my store has British-style sausages for sale (pork, natural casing, not pre-cooked). This is comfort food at its finest! And it's even better if you mix some fried cabbage in with the mashed taters. The perfect meal for a chilly Autumn evening. Thanks!

My friend served this last night with a few modifications and everyone loved it! She used a chicken/apple sausage for the non-meat eaters, and the rest of us were fans. I agreed with one review about the mash being a bit dry, but that's easily resolved. My hostess said it was super easy to make and as I said, was a big hit. "Comfort food!" was a common, happy exclamation.

I didn't have beef bangers but I had pork ones instead. I made my own mashed potatoes as well. I also don't buy gravy packets so I made one up and hoped for the best. I used Chicken broth base and flour and boy, oh boy did the finished product turn out great. YUMMMEEE!!!

I can't say that what I came up with is Bangers and Mash, however this was a jumping off point. I used ground turkey instead of the links, I layered green beans in there also, garlic mashed with cheese! It was awesome. I added the gravy, but left some for the top. Son LOVED it! Thank you!
