Instructions

Sausage Instructions

  • Heat butter over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan. Add sausages and 1/4 cup of the beer. Cover and cook 5 minutes.
  • Turn sausages over, adding remaining 1/4 cup of beer. Cover again and cook an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer turning occasionally until the sausages reach an internal temp of 160°F, approximately 10 minutes. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes, then slice.

Gravy Instructions

  • After removing the sausages, melt butter over medium-high heat in the same pan and deglaze the pan as much as possible. Add onions and cook for 3-4 minutes coating in the pan drippings. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragant.
  • Add flour, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Coat the onions and garlic well. Cook the roux until lightly browned and toasted. Turn the pan down to medium-low.
  • Add beer and worcestershire sauce, fully deglazing the bottom of the pan by scraping the browned bits off of the bottom. Once the mixture thickens, add beef broth 1/2 cup at a time until the gravy thickened, then add more. Whisk frequently. After all broth is added return the pan to medium-high heat and bring to a boil, continuing to whisk frequently. Once boiling, remove from heat.
  • Assemble fries into nest like shapes and top with cheese, sausages, and gravy reserving some cheese and sausage slices for on top of the gravy.
  • Serve and enjoy!
