Beer & Sausage Skillet

Ease of Cooking: Easy
Serving Size: 6 - 8

Notes:
Ever looking for a tasty way to stretch sausage? This recipe is up to
that task. When done serve this up with hot noodles, rice, or
spaghetti. If you don't like hot sausage, you can use two packages of
mild.

Ingredients:
4 Tbsp. butter
1 lb. hot Italian sausage
1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
2 onions -- sliced
12 ounces beer
1 Tbsp. basil
4 garlic cloves -- minced
2 cans Italian style stewed tomatoes
Salt
and pepper to taste

Preparation:
Cut sausage into 1 inch pieces (use a pair of scissors). Melt butter
in a large skillet and sauté sausage pieces until browned. Add the
onions and garlic and cook until onions are transparent. Add
remaining ingredients, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes.

Serve over hot rice.

*Note: This is would is good mixed with noodles and I use wine, not
beer when I make a similar recipe

A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.

Yes, and have found it years ago from a boyscout: boil them in white wine
until the wine thickens with the grease. Delicious "gravy", if that slurry
can be called "gravy"

If each person is getting 4-6 ounces of fatty meat, over pasta, there's
no stretching necessary. Just some complementary flavoring (hence the
tomatoes).

(Coincidentally, I had sausage on pasta last night; I sweated some
onions, tossed in some plain ground pork shoulder, italian herbs,
fennel, and salt, then seared and mixed in a couple of ounces of tomato
paste, then tossed it all with some al-dente cassarecce. I'd salted
the sweat and the pasta water and the sausage, and i added freshly
grated parmesan, so it turned out a tad salty, but it was damn tasty
nonetheless.)
