When I saw these on the commercial I had to get the recipe and make them! They are fantastic! Serve them at your next cookout with plenty of COLD beer to go along! Everyone will love them!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

36 ounces your favorite beer (approx. 3, I use Budweiser)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 bratwursts
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning or Emeril's Original Essence
6 hoagie rolls (I use the Italian style Hoagie rolls and you may substitute hotdog rolls)
prepared mustard (your preference)

Directions

1
Prepare grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium.
2
Place beer,seasoning,onion and brats in medium pot and bring to gentle boil over medium heat.
3
Let brats simmer gently until partially cooked, 6 to 8 minutes.
4
Do not let brats boil, or they will burst.
5
Drain brats well.
6
After removing Brats drain and reserve onions also.
7
Place brats on grill parallel to grates (to hold brats in place) and grill 5 to 7 minutes per side.
8
Internal temperature of brats should be about 170 degrees when serving.
9
Serve on buns with reserved onions and mustard.

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.

These are quite yummy, even if you don't bother to brown them off after simmering in the beer!

This is almost exactly how I make my brats except that I add about half a stick of butter or margarine to the beer, and I dont ever boil the brats in the beer. I just simmer them in it for about 15 min then put em on the grill. DON'T BREAK THE CASINGS!!! EVER!!!!You lose a lot of flavor in the juice that escapes if the casing breaks.

Thank you for the recipie. I refer to it everytime I make brats which is at the very least once a month. We're from OHIO and we are a brat eating state! We even have a Brats festival! Anyway, I have even used 2 beers and the the rest water, or 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken broth. And even all water when we had no beer or chicken broth. I'm real funny about cooking sausage and always afraid it's not done. I am confident everytime when I do it your way, then put it on the grill for 10 mins on high. Watching very closely because of flare ups! Thanks for sharing!
