The Perfect Beer Bratwurst

Picture

Anyone can make a brat.  But it takes a little extra bit to make a brat truly awesome.  It takes a little extra time, and we don’t usually do the extra work if we’re just grilling brats for us.  But if you’re having a party, it’s worth the extra work.  These brats are juicy and flavorful and just delish!

Perfect Beer Brats
A Peace, Love and French Fries original

3-4 lbs bratwurst (12-16 links, we like the Johnsonville original)
LOTS of beer (enough to fill a big pasta pot – 1-1.5 gallons)
1 large onion, sliced

Fill a large pasta pot full of beer of choice (we used Bud Select).  Add onions and bring to a boil.  Add sausage and return to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium high.  Keep at a low boil for 20 minutes.  Remove sausage from pot.

Heat grill to medium.  Grill brats for 8-10 minutes.  Serve with your favorite fixings!

Enjoy!
