Ingredients

• 6 links Italian sausage (mild or hot)
• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 2 large Green bell peppers
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 medium Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 cup Beer (lager or pale ale)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 6 pieces Hoagie rolls (optional, if serving as sandwiches)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook them until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

While the sausages are cooking, core and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the onions into rings. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced peppers and onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they soften and begin to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the peppers and onions.

Step 6

Pour the beer over the sausages and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, turning the sausages occasionally, until they are fully cooked and the flavors meld.

Step 7

Remove the lid and let the liquid reduce slightly for 3-5 minutes if you prefer a thicker sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot on its own or stuffed into hoagie rolls if desired.
