Ingredients

  • 1-2 package brats - Johnsonville Brats if you can find them or good German Sausage
  • 2 12 oz bottles of beer
  • 1 yellow onion cut into wedges
  • 2 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 14.5 oz can beef broth
  • 1 can sauerkraut
  • whole grain German Mustard
  • Hotdog buns
  • Additional water as needed to cover the brats

Instructions

  • Start by braising the brats. Add the uncooked brats to a deep frying pan or large pot set over medium high heat.
  • Add the beer, beef broth, onion, garlic and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer over very low heat. Cook them in the beer mixture for 30-45 minutes until they are completely cooked.
  • Next grill the beer brats on a hot grill, be sure to get a nice sear on the brats.
  • Build your Wisconsin beer brats starting with hotdog bun, topped with a brat, sauerkraut and german mustard. Enjoy!

Notes

Can't find Johnsonville Brats - no worries, use good all beef sausage or German Sausages  and if you're in a pinch hot dogs!
