Ingredients

2 pound mild italian sausage
3 4 large onions (vidalia if available)
2 3 medium green bell peppers
1 pound fresh mushrooms (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, or 2 cloves
fresh crushed garlic
1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 10-ounce bottle sierra nevada pale ale

Cooking Instructions

Coarsely chop onions and cut bell peppers into strips not wider than 1/2 inch. Mushrooms may be sliced or left whole, at chef’s option. Lightly fry sausage in skillet over medium heat, until outer casing begins to brown. Layer onions, pepper strips, and sausage into the crockpot, sprinkling spices at each layer. Add contents of ale bottle to pot, cover, and set to low heat for 7-8 hours. These quantities are designed to fill a standard 5-quart crockpot, and will serve 4-6 people. This goes very well with fresh garlic bread.
