  I found the Guiness made this dish far too bitter. It ruined good sausages for me. I would not make this again.

  Put the Guiness in a glass and drink it on it's own.

  This is a delicious, easy to make, all-round good food meal for a family or even 2 people! It's absolutely delicious and freezes really well too. I would definitely make this recipe again, and have done, several times! Only thing though; you have to use Guinness. We tried it with Black Sheep and it was a little too "lager tasting" for me.

  I agree that it is quite bitter - maybe adding some dark sugar in future would help.

  A good all round mid-week meal. I prepared this the night before up to adding the liquid then left to cook in the slow cooker. The sausages were cooked to perfection - and a lovely meal without any hassle. Will definately make again!

  Cooked this meal tonight but would agree that the guinness was very bitter. Tried adding some dark sugar but it made very little difference and the guinness was still overpowering. So drained the sauce off and was then left with wonderful tasting sausage, onions, bacon and the mushrooms which were added. Not really my taste in meals, I would prefer the same without the guinness. The family thought it was ok.

  I had high expectations of this recipe but was disappointed. It turned out watery and insipid despite using all the right amounts!! Won't persevere with this one.

  Fantastic recipe - easy to throw together when you invite friends over last minute - just pull the sausages out of the freezer! I used 4 onions and added some brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to add more of a tang. It was fab!

  As the Guinness is bitter maybe a Mackeson milk stout which is sweeter would work. I haven't tried it though.

  Love Guinness Love sausages but these 2 don't work. Sausages and gravy tasted bitter/sour. Won't try again as it spoilt both.
