Beer Brats

Beer brats are simmered with onions in beer for extra flavor, then finished up on the grill for a crispy, charred exterior. Place them in hot dog rolls and top them with the tender onions and mustard, or serve them alongside German potato salad.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 4 (12 ounce) cans beer
• 10 bratwurst
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine beer and onion slices in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add bratwurst, pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3

Remove bratwurst to a plate. Reduce heat to low and let onions simmer until needed.

Step 4

Cook bratwurst on the preheated grill, turning occasionally to get char marks, until no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 5

Serve bratwurst with onions.
