Sometimes you've just got to be crafty. I'm having a bit of a packed freezer crisis right now, and have no room for the increasingly stale flagels and bagels I bought last week. I wanted sausage, but not a sandwich. Thus Bangers and Flagels was born.
Think panzanella of the bangers and mash variety. Feeling too lazy to mash potatoes, I left that off and simply fried up a sausage, then some onions and mushrooms. (While I toasted up flagel chunks in the toaster oven.) When the mushrooms and onions were cooked to my liking, I sprinkled in some flour, mixed everything well, then poured in about a half a bottle of beer and some flavoring (like mustard). As the impromptu gravy began to thicken, I tossed in the flagels and let it all sit for a few minutes.
The beer can be subbed with the wine, booze, or liquid of your choice -- just keep in mind that the flavor remains in this dish, so don't cook with something you're only looking to get rid of.
