grill delicious beer brats that are easy and a crowd pleaser at outdoor gatherings

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • thawed bratwursts
  • large cooking pot
  • 1 six pack beer
  • 1 medium white or yellow onion
  • grilling tongs
  1. Step 1

    Place the thawed bratwurst in the cooking pot. Pour in the beer until the brats are covered. I don't drink so I like to use non-alcoholic beer. Dice and add the onion.

  2. Step 2

    Bring the brats to a slow boil on the kitchen stove. Cook for about 20 minutes until cooked (the brats will turn a light gray color through and through).

  3. Step 3

    Remove the brats from the pan and transfer to your pre-heated grill. The brats are already cooked, so you're only going to brown them up on the grill. Once on the grill, turn the brats frequently until browned to your personal taste. This should take 10 minutes or so.

  4. Step 4

    I like to serve the brats on hot dog buns that are lightly browned on the grill. You may want to prepare a side dish of kraut for your guests to add to the brats. Consider offering your guests yellow and brown mustard and maybe some chopped raw onion for garnishment.

Tips & Warnings
  • Always make sure that the brats are thoroughly cooked. I use a meat thermometer, and make sure that the internal temperature is in accordance with the guide on the thermometer.
