Bratwurst and Rice

Brown the bratwurst in a skillet until the casings are deeply colored on all sides.

Add beer, cover, and simmer briefly so the sausages finish cooking and flavor the pan juices.

Lift out the bratwurst and saute peppers, celery, jalapeno, and green onions in the same skillet.

Slice the sausages into coins and return them to the vegetables with a splash of beer juices.

Season with black pepper and spoon the sausage mixture over hot rice.
