Ingredients

  • 4 pork sausages
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes. Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the pork sausages and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. This will take about 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for a minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Add the caramelized onions back to the skillet and stir them with the garlic and herbs. Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Return the cooked sausages to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring they are heated through.
  6. Serve the pork sausages with the caramelized onion sauce over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread. Enjoy!
