My husband makes beer marinated bratwurst and its delicious! I am going to have to ask him to add peppers like your next time. I am a bit confused though. Do you cook the sausages and peppers separately on the grill after marinating?
Rachel, thanks for asking. I cook the onions and peppers separately, a lot of times the night before. You can take precooked sausage and add it in the marinate (peppers, onions, et al) and put it in the fridge. I wouldn’t add it though unless it was precooked or smoked. I am funny about pork and sausage. Then, when you are ready to serve, reheat the marinate while you grill or cook up the sausage. I do them separately. Less work and mess if you are grilling to entertain. You can have it all hot and ready to go in a matter of minutes! I like my sausage blackened and ready to pop. You can cook to order by doing them separate. I reheat the marinade in a pan. Let me know how it comes out!
