Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausages and sear 2 minutes per side until golden, then remove to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook, stirring, until soft and starting to caramelize, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour beer into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Add caraway seeds and stir.

  4. Step 4

    Return sausages to the skillet and nestle them into the onions. Simmer 8 minutes until sausages are cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Stir mustard into the onion mixture. Cook 1 more minute until sauce thickens slightly and onions glaze.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with sausages and beer onions spooned over. Crusty bread or pretzels optional.
