Beer Boiled Brats and Onions

Beer Boiled Brats and Onions are awesome. We love this method for making brats! Brown the brats on the grill, caramelize the onions, then savor the smell of your bratwurst simmering in a lovely brown ale.

The brats are tender and juicy and are perfect topped with the onions and your favorite mustard or whatever else you like.

Need something to go with it? Try this Tomato Peach Salsa and tortilla chips or this refreshing Peach Sangria.

The beer I use is a home brewed brown ale but you can use the beer of your choice.

How to cook Brats in Beer

Preheat the grill and grill bratwurst about 5 minutes on each side to brown them.

While they are cooking, melt butter over low heat in a high sided frying pan. Add onions and saute until they start to get soft.

Add the brown sugar and stir to combine.

Place the browned bratwurst in the pan and add the beer and bring to a simmer. Boil Brats in beer for 20-30 minutes.

Fill the buns with the brats and top with the caramelized onions and mustard.
