Toad in the hole with onion gravy

This classic toad in the hole recipe is an easy one for a family dinner or for when the weather isn’t the best and you are seeking comfort food.  Fluffy Yorkshire pudding batter paired with meaty sausages served with rich onion gravy.   The onions here ended up a bit more cooked than I would have liked, so keep an eye on how browned the onions are when you put them in with the sausages.  However, they did taste good.
