Cheesy chicken apple sausage with onion skillet

I found these fantastic Johnsonville chicken apple sausages out here in California, and being a Wisconsin girl I always get excited when there's new Johnsonville anything on our shelves.  I didn't feel like firing up the grill, so I decided to caramelize some onions and see what happened.

Olive oil
1-2 tsp worcestershire sauce  ( a good healthy splash)
1/2 of a medium yellow onion, sliced thick
1 clove chopped garlic
Pinch course sea salt
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp spicy beer and brat mustard
1 package Johnsonville chicken apple sausage, sliced thinly
2 tbsp light beer - I used Blue Moon
1/3 c shredded cheddar cheese

Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil and worcestershire sauce over medium-low heat until the onions are soft and caramelized and the garlic is browned.  If I had an apple in the fridge I would have thrown that along in the skillet.  Caramelized onions and apples are one of the tastiest things on this planet.

These onions are not done yet, but I wanted to show how big I cut them.  I also recommend a bigger pan.  

Add the salt, thyme and mustard.  Stir well so that the mustard is well-distributed.  Add the sausage and heat until warm through (they're fully cooked, so this doesn't take much time).   Add your splash of beer and stir well again.  Sprinkle the cheese on top and let it simmer until the beer has evaporated and the cheese is melty.  

I served this with oven roasted corn and fresh steamed asparagus.  It was heaven on a plate.
