Beer Marinated Italian Sausage

Beer Marinated Italian Sausage

Just imagine.

Sausage on the grill with peppers and onions along with a beer marinate.

What King would not feel his kingdom waiting on him to finish the meal? The men in my home are the sole source as caretakers of the charcoal grill.

This dish is great for game day! Fathers Day, Holidays, and any day of the week that ends in “day” is a great excuse to fire up the coals.

Cook the marinate the night before the big TailGate Party and then just heat on your grill for 3-5 minutes while the sausage cooks.

This is an easy cleanup so you can watch the game as you eat.

A very healthy recipe, your guests will eat until the entire dish is gone.

No need to worry about leftovers or a messy preparation at the party.

No spoilage here either in the heat.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

• 2 packages Italian sausage of your choice
• 2 12 oz. bottles of a dark lager style beer
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
• 3 large white onions, divided
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Montreal Steak seasoning or A1
• 12 rolls hoagie rolls or other hearty large split style bun
• 1 bottle bottle Dijon mustard

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

• In a pan, place the sausage in a single layer and pierce several times with a fork.
• Add thinly sliced white onions, and cover with beer.
• Refrigerate over night and allow the flavors to marry
• Cut red pepper, green pepper, and remaining onion in thin strips, season with steak seasoning and reserve in a pan.
• Preheat your grill – preferably your charcoal grill and place marinated sausages on rack.
• Cook until temperature reaches 160 degree internal temperature.
• While the sausage is cooking cook the peppers and onions in the pan on the grill until tender.
• Place your buns on the grill to get a light char and place the cooked sausage inside
• Top with the sauteed peppers and Dijon mustard

This sausage is a great substitute for the normal hamburger, salmon, or hot dog fare on the grill. Try it with your favorite sausage today.

On Father’s Day, Graduation Day or that playoff game the man of the house loves to get that grill dirty. Does yours?

I am the one in the kitchen cutting and cleaning and preparing the veggies and sausage for the time it hits the grill.

I live in a golf course community. And I am lucky to be on the tee box of the 16th hole.

By the time the the golfers get to our hole the carts are starting to backup and need to wait for the green ahead to clear.

It never fails someone in their cart shouts out for delivery when my husband or son are working the grill.

Both being avid golfers themselves understand this “tradition” and wave. They chit chat until the next 4 some come up to wait.

We usually cook a bit extra anyway.

Our neighbor next door is a bit older than we are and he and his wife are alone.

There are no children or other relatives to make sure they get to the grocery store or just need something.

And there are more than a few times one or the other need to go to the Dr or hospital.

Miss Jo and our family have adopted them.

It is not uncommon for either of us to leave a little something on the porch.

Nan bakes goodies from when she lived in Italy. We are blessed to have the real thing when it comes to Italian food.

And she has more than once invited me to her kitchen to “help” cook.

She loves the company as much as I do.

Sometimes they come out just to talk. And sometimes it is because we are grilling some of their favorites.

This Beer Marinated Italian Sausage is the dish they like the best.

George is the first to come out on his deck. He often engages in some sort of chit chat.

About the time the sausage is ready we see Nan. She always has something to trade for the dinner.

She makes the best cannoli and she knows that is my sweet spot.

When the plates are full we each leave them on the deck and enjoy the food.

For me? I hide the cannoli in the basement fridge.

I suspect though the family is on to me. I am starting to see them disappear one by one!

I know how important this exchange is to all involved.

And for sure you know George and Nan just love this meal.

I just know you and your family will too!
