1. Heat a little oil in a frying pan with a lid. Brown the sausages then remove from the pan. Add the onions and bacon (if using) and cook for 15-20 minues. Add the flour and stir until absorbed. Gradually add the cider, then the mustard, and stir until dissolved. Bring to a simmer then add the sausages, put on a lid and cook for 45 minutes.
2. To make the champ, put the milk and spring onions in a pan and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the butter and leave to melt. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with the milk mix. Serve with the sausages and gravy.

  'put the milk and spring onions in a pan and cook for 10 minutes'. Care to be more specific about the temperature?

  this was fab, i omitted the milk and simply fried spring onions and mashed in mash with a tiny bit of butter to bring the fat content down, i dry fried leaner sausages to try to reduce the fat, the bacon did not fit well we both said next time we would put in one of red pepper/celery/carrot instead of bacon. its lovely and really tasty and cheap, i served with mangetout and corn.

  I used celery with the onion - meant to use a carrot too but didn't have any in and forgot to buy one. Didn't use the bacon. Really very yummy!
