Bangers and mash has always and will always be a classic comfort food. The perfect evening meal for this time of year and it’s so quick and easy to make.
We’re constantly looking at the products in the vegan section of the supermarket to get inspiration at home and shake up our meal times. The Linda McCartney range of foods is one of our favourites and we always have these sausages in the freezer for evenings when we don’t want anything fussy, but bangers and mash will hit the spot.
Gravy-wise, we love the original Bisto gravy as it contains no animal products, so is a really great, easy and quick gravy that goes with everything. We always have a pot in the cupboard for whenever we need it!
Even though this is posh bangers and mash, it’s still super quick and easy but tastes amazing and can be made on a big or small scale depending on how many you’re feeding. Also, with Christmas coming up, the red cabbage is a perfect side to go with the big Christmas dinner. A recipe stolen from my mum, it’s delicious!
