Irish Banger Dogs

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound Irish banger sausages
• 2 ounces Irish cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1-1/2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup Irish lager beer (such as Rogue or Harp)
• salt and black pepper
• 4 hot dog potato buns, toasted

Creamy Horseradish Sauce:

• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon dried chives
• 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
• 2 teaspoons coarse grain Dijon mustard
• salt and pepper

Method:

1. In a large nonstick skillet with a small amount of butter or oil, cook bangers on all sides until cooked through, then set aside and keep warm.
2. Melt butter in the same skillet and add onions, and cook until they begin to brown, then add cabbage and continue to stir until they wilt; then add lager beer and salt and pepper and cook until tender.
3. Whisk together ingredients for sauce; toast hot dog buns.
4. Place some cheese in the bottom of the bun and place 1/4 of the bangers on top (mine were really small this time so I used two); I microwaved mine for about 15 seconds on high to soften the cheese.
5. Top bangers with some of the sauteed veggies and spoon some of the sauce over the top; sprinkle with a few extra chives if desired.
