Sausage in Beer Marinade
This is a terrific appetizer/hors d’oeuvre but can also make a splendid entrée served with a warm sauerkraut side. Even though this is really a German-style dish I use sweet Italian sausage and it is great. Of course, you can use a bratwurst or some other sausage.
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Sweet Italian Sausage
- 1 can Beer
- Water (enough to cover sausages)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
Marinade
- 2 Pureed Onions
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 cup Additional Beer
Instructions
- In saucepan place Sweet Italian Sausage, Beer, Water (enough to cover sausages), Garlic and Black Pepper. Bring to a boil then remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Drain and cut sausages into 1-inch chunks for hors d'oeuvres or larger for an entrée serving.
Marinade
- Place cut sausages in a mixing bowl and marinate overnight in Pureed Onions, Minced Garlic, Salt, Sugar and Beer.
Cook
- Place sausages on a sheet pan and bake in a 400℉ oven for 15-20 minutes or until sausages are brown and a little tacky. Or pan-sear or grill until browned and tacky.
