Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 Bratwurst sausages Choose your favorite brand
- 12 oz Beer Amber or Lager
- 2 Large onions Yellow or White, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar Optional, for sweeter onions
- 1 tsp Salt To taste
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper To taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
- If desired, sprinkle brown sugar over onions during the last 5 minutes of cooking for added sweetness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add bratwurst to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Pour beer over the brats, ensuring they are partially submerged.
- Bring the beer to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the brats are cooked through.
- Remove brats from the beer and grill them for a few minutes on each side to get a nice char. Alternatively, you can broil them in the oven for a similar effect.
- Serve the beer brats on buns with the caramelized onions on top. Add your favorite condiments like mustard, ketchup, or relish.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a bay leaf or some garlic to the beer while simmering the brats.
