Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the Sausages

Pierce each sausage a few times with a fork to prevent them from bursting while cooking.

2
Heat the Pan

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3
Cook the Sausages

Add sausages to the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally until browned all over.

4
Slice the Onion

While sausages are cooking, peel and slice the onion into rings or half-moons.

5
Remove Sausages

Once browned, remove sausages from the pan and set aside.

6
Cook the Onions

Add butter to the same pan and melt. Add sliced onions and cook until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes.

7
Deglaze the Pan

Pour beer into the pan with the onions, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

8
Season

Add salt and pepper to the onion and beer mixture.

9
Return Sausages to Pan

Place the sausages back into the pan with the onions and beer. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes until sausages are cooked through.

10
Serve

Serve hot sausages topped with the onions and a side of mustard for dipping.
