Description
A delicious Grilled Beer Brats Recipe, featuring bratwurst sausages infused with the flavors of beer and grilled vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bratwurst sausages
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 16 oz. beer (preferably a lager or ale)
- 6 hot dog buns
- Whole-grain mustard, to taste
- Sauerkraut or relish, to taste
Instructions
- Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the grill and heat it to high.
- Grill the bratwurst sausages directly on the grill grates until they are nicely charred on both sides, about 6 minutes total.
- Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and the beer along with the charred bratwursts into the hot skillet.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let everything cook undisturbed over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the onions and bell peppers are caramelized and softened.
- Remove the bratwursts and vegetables from the skillet and serve each brat in a hot dog bun, topped with caramelized onions and bell peppers.
- Add whole-grain mustard and sauerkraut or relish to taste.
Notes
- Using a cast-iron skillet on the grill enhances the caramelization of onions and peppers.
- Choose a beer with good flavor such as a lager, ale, or pilsner to complement the bratwursts without overpowering them.
- You can substitute sauerkraut with your favorite relish or pickled vegetables for variation.
- Ensure bratwurst sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F for safety.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
