Ingredients

  • 6 bratwurst sausages
  • 2 cups of your favorite beer (lager works well)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 6 hot dog buns
  • Mustard, for serving
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  2. Once the onions are nicely golden, push them to the side of the skillet and add the bratwursts. Sear the brats on all sides until they turn brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the beer into the skillet, making sure to cover the brats. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the brats simmer in the beer for about 20-30 minutes, allowing them to absorb all the delicious flavors.
  4. After the brats are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and keep warm.
  5. Toast the hot dog buns in the skillet with the remaining onion and beer mixture for about 1-2 minutes, just until they get slightly crispy.
  6. Assemble your beer brats by placing a bratwurst into each toasted bun, topping with caramelized onions, and a drizzle of mustard. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful beer brats!

These beer brats are a family favorite and a true crowd-pleaser. The combination of juicy brats, savory onions, and zesty mustard creates an irresistible flavor that will have everyone coming back for more. So fire up the grill, grab your favorite beer, and let’s get cooking!
