Make your tailgate party the talk of the game with these Beer Brats with Caramelized Onions. You'll want second helpings!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green pepper, sliced thinly
- 4 12-oz cans of pilsner style beer
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 8 bratwurst sausages
- 8 hot dog buns
Instructions
- In a large skillet melt butter. Add onions and peppers and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan or dutch oven, add beer, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Add sausages and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium and simmer 10 minutes. Remove bratwurst and discard beer.
- Preheat your grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil. Add bratwurst and cook until slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Serve in buns topped with onion and pepper mixture.
Notes
We like to use pilsner-style beers for this recipe, but any type of beer would be delicious.
Serve these brats with a bit of stone-ground mustard for an added explosion of flavor.
