Ingredients

Banger

5-10 whole Bratwursts
1/2 whole Sweet Onion
1 bottle Harp's Irish Beer

Mashed Potatoes

8 whole Yukon Gold Potato
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp Smoked Q Rock's Anytime Seasoning

Guinness Gravy

2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
8 oz beef broth
1 bottle Guinness Beer
1 tbsp Smoked Q Rock's Anytime Seasoning

Instructions

To cook the sausages, I’m going to set my Traeger Timberline XL to 350º and allow it to come to temp while I prep.
Next I peel all the potatoes, then dice into small chunks before throwing them into boiling water that has been seasoned with salt. I let them boil until they become soft and mushy.
To cook the sausages, I place them into a large cast iron pan, cover with Harps Irish Beer and water, then add in some sliced onions.
I place the cast iron pan with the sausages into the Traeger Timberline XL at 350º for about 45 minutes.
With the potatoes boiled and soft, I drain the water, saving some for later use if needed. I add 3 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of Smoked Q Rock’s Anytime seasoning, then I take a masher and work to get all the potatoes mashed up until they are creamy and smooth with little to no lumps. If needed, I add some potato water to help hydrate and smooth them out.
To make the Guinness gravy, I start by adding the butter to the saucepan to melt. Once melted, I add in the flour and whisk into a roux. With the roux ready, I add in the beef broth, then the Guinness. Lastly I add some Smoked Q Rock’s Anytime seasoning and whisk together while bringing it to a boil. Then I allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes, adding more beef broth if needed to thin it to the desired consistency.
With the sausages cooked, I sear them on a medium-high heat on my Traeger Flatrock.
With everything cooked, I prepare the plate with mashed potatoes first, then two sausages, before smothering in onions and Guinness gravy.
