Steps:
- Get a large grill safe dish (we use the reynolds disposable roasters), place the onions, red bell peppers (if using) and brats in the bottom.
- Mix the two mustards, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar together and dump this mixture over the brats and onions etc.
- Stir until the onions and brats are evenly coated.
- Pour enough beer into the dish to cover the brats and onion, then give it a slight stir to mix the mustard mixture with the beer.
- Put in fridge and let sit at least 30 minutes, but an hour or two is much better. When marinating time is up, remove and let come to room temperature.
- Pre heat your grill to medium high heat.
- Place the container directly on the grate and cook the brats in the beer mixture for 10-15 minutes, until the beer is steamy and hot. Remove from heat. But do not discard yet.
- Turn the grill down to medium heat (or however you like your brats grilled).
- Remove the onions and brats from the beer mixture. Then place the brats on one side of the grill and the onions on the other.
- Grill brats and onions, turning occasionally until done. Each time you turn, baste with the remaining beer mixture. The onions should be somewhat caramelized and soft.
- Discard the remaining beer mixture and serve on buns or hoagies with sauerkraut and other condiments as desired.

BEER BRATS
Fans of Midwestern-style beer brats have strong opinions about the best way to prepare them. Some like to simmer the bratwurst in beer before browning them on the grill (as is the case here); some prefer grilling first, soaking in beer after. But everyone agrees that the brats should start out fresh and uncooked (rather than precooked, like hot dogs), then be served on a split, toasted roll with onions and plenty of mustard. Purists may shun adding the likes of ketchup, pickles and sauerkraut to the sandwich, but when you're the cook, you get to choose which condiments to put out - or set aside.

Steps:
- Light a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high.
- In a medium pot over high heat, bring beer and half the onions to a simmer (save remaining onions for serving). Add bratwurst to the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer sausages to the grill, and grill until they're well browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes, turning often.
- If you like, while the brats are grilling, let the beer and onions boil over high heat until the onions are very soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve onions for serving.
- Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until golden, about 1 minute. Serve the brats sandwiched in the rolls and topped with onions (either raw or beer-braised, or both), along with any condiments you like.
HOW TO BOIL BRATS IN BEER
In short, if you wonder how to boil brats in beer, it is as easy as chopping veggies, browning them, putting your brats in a cooking pot, and start boiling with beer instead of water. The only trick may be how long to boil brats in beer, which depends on whether or not you're planning to grill.

Steps:
- Put your brats in a pot that comfortably holds them and add equal parts beer and cold water until the liquid covers the brats completely.
- Slice your onions into large sections and toss them in, turning the heat on your stove to high to bring the pot to a boil.
- Don't let them boil very long, as our goal is to gently simmer your brats in beer. After it begins to boil turn the heat down to a very low boil and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
- After they've simmered, you'll have several options as far as how to finish off your brats. You can choose to grill the brats or serve them with sides.
- You can also finish off your brats in a pan or even put them in a cast iron bratwurst cooker and cook over a fireplace or camp fire!

Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet or nonstick pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bratwurst and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the sausage to a plate; set aside. Add the onions and salt to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes (do not burn; reduce the heat if necessary).
- Place the bratwurst back in the pan on top of the onions, add the beer, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid, and simmer for 10 minutes (at this point the sausages will be partially cooked through). Remove the cover, increase the heat to medium, and continue cooking until the bratwurst are cooked through and the beer is reduced by about three quarters, 10 to 12 minutes more. Serve the bratwurst and onions on rolls with mustard and sauerkraut, if desired.
- Note: I use Johnsonville Original Brats; avoid any brats already flavored with beer, as the finished dish will taste too bitter. Also be sure to purchase fresh (not cooked) sausages.
- Note: Lager is a family of beers that includes bright lagers, amber lagers, dark lagers, Oktoberfests, and pilsners. I use Sam Adams Oktoberfest, but Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite are all good options. No need to use anything fancy!
- Note: The nutritional information does not include the optional serving ingredients.

- At least 12 hours before grilling your beer brats, marinate the brats. Add the bratwurst sausages, sliced onion, and beer to a large airtight container or resealable bag. Shake to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or for up to 24 hours.
- , creating a zone of direct high heat & a zone of direct low heat. If using a gas grill, begin preheating at least 15 minutes prior to grilling. If using charcoal, light the charcoal at least 30 minutes prior to grilling. (To learn more about zone grilling, be sure to check out this post.)
- Transfer the brats (& onions, & beer) to a medium cast-iron skillet or a heat-safe Dutch oven. Transfer the cast iron/Dutch oven directly to the grill grates over the low heat zone. Close the grill. Bring the brats up to a boil, then boil for 10-12 minutes or until they reach about 145 degrees F. Between the time it takes to bring the brats to a boil & boiling the brats, this should take about 20-25 minutes total. Be patient & keep the grill lid closed as much as possible so you don’t release unnecessary heat from the grill – it’ll only make things take longer!
- Once boiled, use grill tongs to carefully transfer the beer boiled brats directly to the grill grates. Grill 2-3 minutes per side, until charred as desired & the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Transfer to a plate to rest & cool slightly before serving.

- First, place uncooked brats on the bottom of a large pot. Then, pour in around 3 cans of of beer. You want to make sure that the brats are fully covered to ensure even cooking.
- Turn heat to medium high heat and bring the beer to a rolling boil. Then, reduce the heat to low/medium and let simmer, uncovered, for around 10-15 minutes. If you are cooking thicker brats, cook them closer to 15 minutes.
- As the brats simmer, the beer will begin to foam, this is good! Just make sure you watch your pot so that the beer does not boil over. About halfway through cooking, poke each of the brats to make sure they don’t explode (you’ll understand). You know your brats are done cooking when they have firmed up and are no longer pink inside.
- Preheat grill to 450ºF. Grill brats for around 5-10 minutes, rotating every few minutes. Since the brats are already fully cooked from the beer boil, this is really just to add char so make sure not to overcook! Cook brats until they’ve reached 145ºF internally.

- Find the right beer. There are many different types of beer and they all impart different flavors to your sausage. Wheats, IPAs, lagers, ales, and otherwise are all good choices for this application. The rule of thumb is to not use a beer you wouldn't drink. This guide recommends the use of a lager or another beer you prefer. There is no need to use a beer that is overly expensive or dark for cooking the bratwurst.
- Find the right sausage. The cornerstone of a good beer brat is using a good tasting sausage, and there are a lot of variations even within bratwurst. With sausage, there can be a lot of difference between national and local product. If you want something tried and true, pick up something from your favorite brand, but if you're willing to try something new, try to get freshly made local sausage and you might be in for a surprise. Plain bratwurst is what will give the most reliable results and the plain, meaty taste is hard to beat. Beef or pork is up to your personal preference. Beer bratwurst will allow you to double down on flavor and is what this guide recommends. As long as you're not using an exotic beer or other alcohol, the simmering beer should create a depth of flavor with the beer infused in the bratwurst itself. Spicy bratwurst is good for those who love some heat in their sausage, but the other spices can often overtake the beery flavor you're trying to build. A definite opt
- Find the ingredients for your relish. It's often a good idea to create a relish when cooking your beer brats. The relish will impart flavor to the brats as they cook and after when they caramelize in the beer into a topping. This guide utilizes onion, but you can feel free to include thinly sliced bell pepper or other vegetables you're comfortable simmering in beer.

- In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, add the raw bratwurst, 1 sliced onion, the beer (enough to cover the sausage), and 1/2 of a stick of butter cut into cubes.
- Bring the water to a slow boil, turn down the heat to medium-low, and simmer the brats for 10 minutes. They should be mostly cooked (aka par-boiled) and will finish cooking when you grill or pan cook them.
- Remove the bratwurst from the liquid and either grill them on a preheated grill for 10-14 minutes until browned to your liking or pan fry them in a skillet with a little oil or butter for 3 minutes on each side. Add the onions back to the pan also if you're pan-frying them to serve with the sausages.
