Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage (kielbasa or andouille), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 medium bell peppers (red and green), thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 hoagie rolls, split but not cut through
  • Beer Mustard:
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons beer (lager or ale)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beer Mustard: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons beer, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Slice the sausage and vegetables: Thinly slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic.
  3. Sauté peppers and onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peppers, onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Cook the sausage: Push the veggies to one side of the pan. Add sausage slices and brown on one side for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until heated through and slightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes total.
  5. Combine sausage and peppers: Stir sausage and veggies together and cook for 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Prepare the hoagie rolls (optional): Lightly toast the rolls in a toaster oven or under a broiler for 3-5 minutes until crisp outside but soft inside.
  7. Assemble the hoagies: Spread a generous layer of beer mustard inside each roll. Pile on the sausage and pepper mixture. Optionally add fresh arugula or sliced pickles for extra crunch.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Thinly slice sausage and peppers for even cooking and easier eating. Toast hoagie rolls to prevent sogginess. Adjust beer mustard sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar as needed. Drain excess fat if sausage is very fatty. Variations include vegetarian sausage, adding jalapeños for spice, or adding cheese for a melty upgrade.
