Easy Beer Bratwurst

Ingredients Galore!

Here’s what you’ll need to make your bratwurst adventure a reality:

  • 6 bratwurst sausages
  • 2 cans of your favorite beer (the stronger, the better!)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard (because, why not?)
  • Hot dog buns (the fluffier, the better)
  • Optional toppings: sauerkraut, pickled jalapeños, or whatever toppings make your heart sing!

Get Your Grill On!

Now that you have the ingredients ready, let’s get down to the business of making those brats shine! Follow these simple steps:

  1. In a large pot, combine the beer and sliced onions. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat. This is where the magic starts. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
  2. Carefully add the bratwursts to the beer mixture, making sure they’re fully submerged. Let them cook for about 20 minutes. Go ahead and sip on the leftover beer. You deserve it!
  3. While the brats are soaking up all that deliciousness, heat your grill to medium-high heat. Give it a good wipe to make sure it’s ready for action.
  4. After the brats have simmered, bring them over to the grill to get a nice char. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they’re brown and sizzle-tastic.
  5. Once grilled to perfection, slather on some mustard, load them into those hot dog buns, and top with your favorite fixings. Get ready for a flavor explosion!
