My son isn't a big fan of sausage and peppers, and I really can't blame him! For a baby, it makes you gassy, and the texture is just weird. Needless to say, this is my first recipe which isn't a 100% tried and true kid-friendly recipe. Eoin tried bits and pieces and wasn't thrilled. But at least he tried it! Regardless, I am sharing this recipe because it is one of the easiest things to make. I already have the alterations in my head to make it a little more kid-friendly, and I can't wait to share the new and improved recipe with you in the future!
Tuesdays and Thursdays, both Bill and I work. When Eoin and I get home, I need a quick and easy recipe to get dinner on the table ASAP. I am not a huge fan of sausage and peppers myself, but the beer gives it a slightly different flavor, which is always welcome to my palate. The next time around, I will omit the beer, and use a turkey or chicken sausage and just saute everything.

I served this tonight on top of yellow rice and a side salad consisting of mixed greens with garbanzo beans (chickpeas), sliced white mushroom and green olives. I prefer using either lemon juice or a light balsamic dressing, but you can use your choice of dressing.
