A real Wisconsin favorite….sausage & beer. Peppers are sautéed, sausages are braised and beer is added in to slow cook and give this dish a unique flavor that is out of this world good! This is a quick fix meal, perfect for a week night.
A pan full of delicious flavors.
Pan fry the sausages (use your favorite kind) and set aside. Along with the peppers you add onion and seasoned diced tomatoes before adding in a dark beer. Add the sausages back in and let simmer. The sauce will reduce and the flavors will intensify.
Sausage & Peppers
You could easily stuff the sausage and peppers into a hoagie and make it a sandwich.
