Beer Boiled Brats Recipe

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb of bratwurst (typically 4-5 brats per pack)

2 12 oz bottles of beer (bud light)

1/4 cup butter

1 large onion (sliced)

Directions

In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, add the raw bratwurst, 1 sliced onion, the beer (enough to cover the sausage), and 1/2 of a stick of butter cut into cubes.

Bring the water to a slow boil, turn down the heat to medium-low, and simmer the brats for 15 minutes. They should be mostly cooked (aka par-boiled) and will finish cooking when you grill or pan cook them.

Optional: Remove the bratwurst from the liquid and either grill them on a preheated grill for 10-14 minutes until browned. Or you can pan fry them in a skillet with a little oil or butter for 3 minutes on each side. Add the onions back to the pan also if you're pan-frying them to serve with the sausages.
