I made this recipe last night for the first time and they are good! This is great if you are having a gang in and want a "do it yourself" style dinner (whatever) have baked beans on the side.

SERVES 6 , 6 sausages (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the brats, onions, peppercorns, cloves, garlic in a saucepan, pour in the beer.
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil and simmer the brats 15 minutes.
  3. 3
    Drain (you can do this early in the day and then just have the BBQ step to do before serving).
  4. 4
    BBQ the brats about 10 minutes.
  5. 5
    Spray with water while BBQing to form a crisp skin.
  6. 6
    Serve on the roll with mustard and hot peppers or other relish or serve them as your meat for dinner.

Very good. I made these for supper one night last week. So good. I loved the flavor the brats took on from boiling in beer with the cloves and peppercorns. Great idea. I will make these again, I'm thinking of bringing these to our family reunion, just not sure if I can afford to bring as many as I'll need, cuz I know everyone will want one when they smell them cooking. We toopped ours with a spicy brown mustard and banana peppers....yummy. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

    FANTASTIC!!! I made these brats on Friday afternoon for our tailgate Saturday afternoon. I prepared them just like the recipe says, then they sat in the mixture for almost 24 hours before we actually grilled them on Saturday. They were SO good, and I can't wait to make them again!

    Brats turned out great - juicy and flavorful. Only watch-out is to make sure after boiling in beer to keep the simmer low - otherwise the brats split, losing much of their juice (similarly, need to BBQ on low-to-medium to avoid splitting).

    Perfectly cooked and great flavor using this method. I sliced the onions instead of dicing, then drained the onion and served them with the brats.
