Lisa's Sausage and Pierogi Dinner

Description:
One of our favorite dishes.

Ingredients:
3 lbs bratwurst, keilbasa, italian or smoked sausage
1 pkg frozen pierogi
1 can mushroom pieces (4 oz.), drained
1 Small onion, sliced
1 Green pepper, sliced (optional)
2 cans beer

flour

Directions:
Boil pierogi per package instructions. Drain thoroughly afterwards.

While the pierogi are boiling:
Boil sausage in beer until thoroughly cooked. Drain, but set aside drained beer for later. Cut sausage into bite sized pieces and place in skillet over medium heat with mushrooms, onions and green pepper until all are browned. Add pre-boiled pierogi, heating until lightly browned.

Add flour to beer liquid making a gravy of sorts. Add gravy to taste.

Variation: eliminate green peppers, onion and mushrooms from above recipe and add 1 lb. sauerkraut instead!! Yum!!
