This is the first of series of recipes using beer. I have been collecting various recipes, so you will be seeing appetizers, dips, soups, main courses and even desserts – all cooked with beer.
I used Waterloo Dark beer from our local Brick Brewery and it was absolutely perfect!Check out the links if you want to find out more about Brick Brewing Company and see what other say about Waterloo Dark beer.
The reason I decided to start the Cooking with Beer series is that I remember my grandma using beer for breading schnitzels, making stews and gravies and I thought there must be a good reason, because she was an awesome cook!
This first recipe didn’t fail me – sausages cooked in dark beer in a slow cooker-Incredibly simple, put together in only a few minutes. The aroma when cooking is great and the taste even better. Try it – I am sure you will love it!
