Instructions
Prepare the baked potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425 F
- Begin by thoroughly washing the 4 large potatoes
- Using a fork, pierce the skin of the potatoes about 4 or 5 times to create small holes
- **don't skip this step! Poking holes in your potatoes allows the potatoes to release steam while baking, preventing potatoes from bursting during the cooking process
- Brush 1 tbsp of olive oil on the potatoes so that they are totally covered
- Place oiled potatoes in tin foil, wrap, place on a baking tray
- Place potatoes in a preheated oven. Bake for one hour.
- **while potatoes are baking, move onto the rest of the recipe
Prepare the broccoli and bangers (vegan sausage)
- Chop the head of broccoli into smaller pieces
- Place chopped broccoli in a bowl and add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix until evenly coated
- Place seasoned broccoli and vegan sausage on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (for easy clean up)
- When your potatoes have 25 minutes left, place the vegan Beyond sausage and broccoli on the baking tray and bake for the remaining 25 minutes.
Prepare the vegan Guinness cheese sauce
- Begin by adding all of the ingredients list under "Ingredients that go in the blender" into a blender. Blend on high until smooth. This will take around 30 seconds. Set aside
- Next, add 1/2 tbsp olive oil and chopped garlic cloves to a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add the ingredients that have been blended, along with 1/4 cup of Guinness beer. Stir until thoroughly mixed and bring heat down to low
- Allow sauce to cook for other 15 minutes. Stir often with a spatula so sauce does not stick to the pan and burn.
- Remove from heat. Set aside and cover with lid to keep warm
Put it all together
- Once potatoes, broccoli, and vegan bangers are done baking and the vegan Guinness cheese sauce has been made, it's time to put it all together!
- Cut vegan bangers (Beyond sausage) into smaller pieces
- Unwrap and cut open the baked potatoes
- Place each baked potato in a serving bowl. Top with broccoli, chopped vegan bangers, and vegan Guinness Cheese sauce. Top with chives
- Serve and enjoy!
