Italian Sausage, Peppers and Beer

Italian Sausage, Peppers and Beer
This dish was inspired by a trip to the local farmer’s market. The bell peppers were fresh and begging us to taste them.   You can substitute water or white wine for the beer, however the beer does add to the flavor. The fresh rosemary stands out in this dish and fills your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.		Total Time: 20 min for 2 people Serves 2
