My Irish grandfather taught me this secret. Just 4 ingredients for the most flavorful, tender dinner you will ever make this March.
Ingredients
2 pounds Irish-style pork sausages (bangers), about 8 links
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 cups beef stock (preferably low-sodium)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Prepare the onions: Peel and thinly slice the onions from root to tip. The slow cooker will do most of the caramelizing for you, but thinner slices soften and sweeten more evenly.
Brown the sausages (optional but recommended): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the sausages for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned but not cooked through. This step builds deeper flavor and gives the finished dish that rich, dark look. If you’re short on time, you can skip this and add the sausages straight to the slow cooker.
Layer the onions in the slow cooker: Scatter the sliced onions evenly over the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. They form the bed that will soften, sweeten, and eventually become the base of your gravy.
