directions

  • Prepare grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium.
  • Place beer,seasoning,onion and brats in medium pot and bring to gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Let brats simmer gently until partially cooked, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Do not let brats boil, or they will burst.
  • Drain brats well.
  • After removing Brats drain and reserve onions also.
  • Place brats on grill parallel to grates (to hold brats in place) and grill 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Internal temperature of brats should be about 170 degrees when serving.

  1. simple, easy, and super tasty! we love these on football days.
     
  2. These were very good. I only had two beers so I added 2 cups of chicken broth to the beer, turned out very good. I loved the flavor of these and the onions.....yummy. I will make this again as we all loved it. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
     
  3. Great! I also added butter to the simmer. We loved these.
     
  4. Very good, added the cajun seasoning to the mix and also some smokehouse pepper. Had them with just white bread since we aren't much for rolls.
     
  5. AWESOME! I forked the brats and I added a stick of butter to the simmer. Also garnished with saurkraut, sliced tomatoes, and finely chopped cucumber.

  1. I am eating these as I type. DH told me at the last minute that he wanted beer brats for dinner. I've never made them before since they aren't a frequent meal here in the south, so I came searching for a recipe that sounded good and relatively quick. This fit the bill and I'm sure glad I chose it. These are delicious! I substituted garlic for Essence of Emeril and grilled the onions. DH is pleased and I have to say I deserve that last beer because I did do good! :D Thanks for posting a great recipe, Norm.
