Fantastic Hearty Super Bowl Treat

The combination of smoking/grilling followed by a flavorful braise with tender onions and peppers delivers a delicious and tender dish for the whole gang!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of The Butcher Shoppe, Etc. house-made Italian sausages (hot or sweet as you like)
• 1 Large sweet onion halved and sliced medium thickness
• 1 Bell pepper sliced medium thickness
• 3 Garlic cloves smashed
• Liquid – 3 Cups dry white wine (pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, etc. nothing aged in oak) OR your favorite non-dark beer
• 2 tsp Dried oregano
• S&P to taste
• 1 sliced, de-seeded jalapeno, serrano or other hot pepper of your choice (optional)
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

• Pre-heat smoker (250 degrees) or grill to medium heat with one burner off.
• Place all ingredients except sausages in a doubled disposable deep half aluminum pan or other grill-safe vessel (Dutch oven, etc.) cover with foil
• Place pan on grill or in smoker. Stir occasionally and move off direct heat if reducing too much. Add a little water if needed. You want the veggies to be tender when the sausages go in
• Smoke sausages @ 250 degrees or grill on medium heat to 130 degrees internal temp (not ready to eat!)
• Slice sausages into 2-3″ chunks and add to the hot tub (the pan) and return to heat. If on a grill, place over indirect heat and close
• Cook until sausages reach 165 degrees, stirring occasionally
• Serve on warm hero rolls. Add shredded parmigiana, strips of provolone or fresh mozzarella/fresh basil leaves if you like or serve with good coarse ground mustard

Enjoy!
