Dutch Oven Beer and Sausage Recipe

Do you love beer and sausages?  This Dutch Oven Beer and Sausage recipe is an easy, quick, and a last minute one-pot dinner.  

I like to use my great Grandma’s cast-iron Dutch oven on my stove top.  What is nice about this recipe is that it does not require a lot of ingredients or time.  With a little work, it simmers nicely into a hearty and flavorful dinner.  Excellent served with some warm bread and your favorite beer. A perfect meal to cook up in the outdoors when your camping or even at a tailgate party for your favorite sporting event. Beer and Sausages is also fun to serve for an Octoberfest dinner in the fall.

What is a Dutch Oven?  Before anyone ever thought of a crock pot, there was the cast-iron Dutch oven.  Dutch ovens have been used for hundreds of years.  Nothing will hold a good, even temperature better than the heavy metal of this monster pot, and it can go from stovetop to oven without missing a beat.

    This recipe is a winner, but I always use a full can of beer, not just a cup.
