Gimmie’s Beer Brats
Brats ‘n beer are a favorite in the Midwest. These yummy sausages are a hearty addition to any backyard barbecue. Since we’re vacationing at my family’s lake house, I couldn’t resist cooking up some local flavor.
INGREDIENTS
- Package of raw bratwursts
- 4 cans of cheap beer (any type, cheap beer works just fine and doesn’t waste the good stuff 😉 )
DIRECTIONS
- Pour 4 cans of beer into a large pan
- Place raw brats in beer so they’re completely covered
- Boil beer ‘n brats over high heat until brats turn a grey color. (They’re red when they’re raw)
- Drain beer into sink and barbecue brats until cooked thoroughly
- Serve in a brat bun (wheat or white – similar to a hot dog but, but usually larger) with your favorite condiments: ketchup, mustard, relish, sour kraut, etc.
- Enjoy!
