Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 2 pounds fresh bratwurst sausages
• 6 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles beer
• 10 hoagie rolls
• 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Prick bratwurst with a fork to prevent them from exploding as they cook; place in a large stockpot. Add beer, onions, butter, and black pepper. Place the stockpot over medium heat, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Cook bratwurst on the preheated grill until evenly browned, about 10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve hot off the grill with onions on hoagie rolls.
