One of the great things about beer is that it can be a useful ingredient in making tasty meals.

This simple recipe will show the user how to cook kielbasa sausage with beer in a fairly easy manner, and in a short amount of time.

For those unaware of what "kielbasa" is, it is a form of Polish sausage that can usually be found in your local supermarket.

Things You'll Need

• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 2-3 medium sized onions, sliced
• 3-5 carrots, sliced
• 2 pounds of kielbasa
• 2 bottles of beer
• Side of noodles or rice

Instructions

1. 

   Start by peeling and cutting your onions and carrots. Also cut the kielbasa into pieces. Use a large, heavy skillet and melt your butter on a low heat until its entirely liquefied. Add the onions and carrots, sauté over a medium heat until the onions caramelize with the butter.

2. Add the kilebasa to the skillet and cook until the pieces are brown on both sides, which usually takes a few minutes. Next, take your beer and pour it over the contents in the skillet. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil.

3. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the contents simmer for about 30 minutes or until the liquid reduces to a syrup consistency. The onions combined with the beer should create a sauce. While the skillet is simmering, you can cook rice or noodles as your side dish.

4. 

   Serve your meal on a plate over either the rice or noodles if desired. You can also use rolls or bread for dipping the sauce. This recipe should serve about 3 or 4 people. Enjoy!
