Beer Brats
Servings 10 Brats
These juicy beer brats will stay warm all day long! Serve these for the next tailgate party or potluck & let everyone make their own.
Ingredients
- 2 packages Johnsonville Brats any flavor, 19 oz each per package
- 24 oz light beer 2 cans
- 2 white onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- ¼ cup dill pickle juice optional
- 1 green bell pepper or red bell pepper, optional
Instructions
- Preheat grill to grill to medium-low.
- Place a disposable 9"x11" foil pan on the grill. Add beer, butter, onions, & pickle juice (if using). Set off to one side of the grill and allow to simmer and cook.
- Cook brats on the grill over medium heat until golden and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. *see note
- Once grilled, add the cooked Brats to the hot tub and let them simmer for at least 30-40 minutes.
- If adding bell peppers, lightly olive oil the outside of the bell peppers and season with salt and pepper. Grill until tender-crisp, slice and add to the beer along with the brats.
Notes
*Brats can be simmered in beer for 15 minutes before grilling, we prefer the flavor with grilling first. To simmer the brats before grilling, place beer and onions in a pan or dutch oven and bring to a simmer. Add brats and allow to simmer 15 minutes before grilling. Remove from the liquid and grill until golden and return brats to the beer hot tub to simmer.
Be sure not to pierce or poke the brats or the juices will leak out.
