    Dicks Tips
----
    What you're doing here Dick is something called par boiling. This is done to partially cook something before finishing the process through another means - enter the oven. It gets rid of some of the fat as well and will give you a juicier wing with that crispy coating.

    In a large frying pan over medium heat, fry sausage pieces for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
    Using the same pan, melt one tablespoon of butter and add onions. Sauté for 10 minutes or until onions begin to soften.
    Add the remaining ingredients to the pan bringing to a boil. Reduce to simmer and stir continuously to ensure your gravy is lump-free and thick. Remove from heat.
    Pour enough of the gravy mix into a casserole dish, to just cover the bottom. Add the cooked sausage over the gravy, then pour remaining gravy over sausage. Top with mashed potatoes.
    Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are lightly browned.

    Dicks Tips
----
    If you want a quick short-cut Dick, make yourself a batch of instant potatoes instead of mashed from scratch. The butter and herb or garlic versions would be good here. As for the sausage, Bob's your uncle, but the lower fat versions will be better for your ticker and your waistline.
