SIMPLE BRATWURST

Steps:

• Place brats and beer in saucepan, making sure that the sausages are covered.
• Bring to a boil
• Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until the brats look done (they will be gray and foamy--bear with me!).
• In the meantime, you should fire up the grill. Charcoal, of course, is best but not always practical.
• Also in the meantime, take some aluminum foil and fold it into a packet.
• Remove sauerkraut from can/jar with a fork (thus preventing drainage needs) and place into packet. Seal TIGHTLY!
• Put brats and packet on grill (use indirect heat for sauerkraut packet, or place on a rack above grill--you know what I mean if you have one ;)).
• Grill, turning occasionally, about 8-10 minutes over medium high heat. I, personally, like mine with a nice black burnt crust, but I am odd. So go with what looks right. You want them brown and shiny with wee grill marks on them.
• During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, place buns, slightly open, with opening down, on grill (again, indirect heat) to toast them.
• Serve with mustard and the sauerkraut. Thou shalt not eat thy brat with ketchup. 'Tis a mortal sin.
• Quaff the rest of the beer.
