Beer Sausage

This beer sausage dish — either of German or possibly Polish origin — was made special by my mother, grandmother, and her mother. Did I mention this is an incredibly easy, one-pot dish that kids love? It’s a one-pot meal that all generations always enjoy. The beer broth is nothing short of amazing. Hope you like it!
