Grilled Bratwurst and Beer

Recipe #96442 | 55 min | 15 min prep | add private note

I found this recipe in a Weber BBQ cookbook and liked it for it's simplicity and for the fact that I could let them cook away on the grill with a minimum of supervision. My guests loved them! The next day, I re-grilled the leftovers and they were just as good, if not better, than they were the night before. My brats were quite large with 4 of them to a pound so the serving size here is approximate.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh bratwurst

  • 1 (12 ounce) can beer
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 4 hot dog buns or bratwurst buns
  • mustard
  • additional chopped onion (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Set up your grill for cooking indirectly over medium heat- for a gas grill just leave one burner unlit and for charcoal, move hot coals to the outside edges of the grill.
  2. 2
    Place a foil pan in the center of the cooking grate and pour the beer into the pan, then add onion and green pepper; place brats on grill alongside the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until they're lightly browned.
  3. 3
    Place brats into the pan with the beer and vegetables, cover grill and cook for 25 minutes.
  4. 4
    Serve on buns with mustard and chopped onions.
  5. 5
    Leftover brats can be re-grilled right on the grill for several minutes, until hot.

I cooked this one on the stove but still grilled the brats. Wonderful flavour.
