Ingredients for Best Ever Sausage With Peppers Onions And Beer

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Italian Sausages
  • Red Bell Peppers
  • Green Bell Peppers
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 (12 oz) bottle of beer (lager, pilsner, or amber ale work well)

How to Make Best Ever Sausage With Peppers Onions And Beer

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add Italian sausage to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  4. Pour beer into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon or spatula. Let the beer reduce slightly (about 2 minutes).
  5. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic to the skillet.
  6. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano, cilantro, and hot sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Add the remaining beer to the skillet.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the onions and peppers are tender.
  9. Slice the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Add the sliced sausage to the skillet.
  11. Cover and simmer for another 5-7 minutes to heat the sausage through and allow the flavors to meld.
  12. Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra cilantro.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
