Instructions

Instant Dutch Oven Instructions

You can leave the sausages as they are or make mini sandwiches to serve at a party or tailgate. To do this, pinch each sausage in the middle.
After pinching, twist the Italian sausage in the middle to make two sections. If needed, you can also tie it with a string.
Set the Instant Dutch Oven to sear/saute. Once preheated, add a small amount of olive oil to the pot. Saute with the lid off. Add the sausage in batches to brown.
Brown the sausages on both sides, then remove them to a plate. Repeat until all the Italian sausages are browned.
Slice the onions and green peppers while the sausages are browning. Add the vegetables to the pan and saute until the onions are softened.
Add in the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Turn off the saute function.
Add in the Italian herb seasoning and stir.
Pour in the beer, and nestle the browned sausages into the mixture. Cover with a lid and cook on braise mode for 45 minutes to one hour with the lid on until the sausages are done.

Stovetop Instructions

Preheat a large deep fry pan or Dutch oven on medium heat. Once preheated, add a small amount of olive oil.
Add the Italian sausages and brown on both sides, then remove to a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining sausages until they have been browned.
Slice the green peppers and onions while the sausages are being browned. Add them to the pan and saute until the onions are softened.
Add the minced garlic and Italian herb seasoning and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the Italian sausage to the pan and pour in the beer. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the sausages are done.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Freeze for up to three months without juices, then thaw in the refrigerator prior to reheating.
