Preparation

Step 1

In your heaviest skillet, sear the sausages in the vegetable oil over medium heat until they begin to brown (probably about five minutes). Add the peppers and onions and keep cooking for maybe three more minutes. Add the 'kraut, mustard, diced apple, and the beer (slowly). Simmer for ten minutes tops — you're really just looking for the beer to reduce by at least two-thirds. And then you're looking to drink one.
