DirectionsGet to the point
1Combine 1 sliced onion, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 can (12 oz) lager beer in a foil pan on the grill.
2Grill 5 bratwurst links over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning frequently until casings are golden-brown.
3Transfer brats into the bubbling beer onion pan; simmer 6 minutes until internal temp reaches 160°F.
4Serve in pretzel buns loaded with beer onions and spicy mustard.
Dad pro tip

Never pierce the brat casing with a fork. Puncturing leaks out all the savory fat and turns the brat into dry sawdust. Sear gently over medium heat, then transfer into the beer-and-butter onion bath to hold until game time.

Kid adjustment

Serve brats in standard soft hot dog buns with ketchup and mild mustard, omitting beer onions.

Reheat

Reheat brats in skillet with 2 tbsp beer or water covered for 4 minutes.
