Beer and Sausage

Sounds like a winning combination, doesn’t it?  They are as delicious together as they are separately.  Although, I argue each is improved by the other.

Here’s a simple way to combine them in one dish.  It would be a great way to break out the grill this weekend.

Beer Braised Brats
Serves 4 to 6

6 uncooked bratwurst sausages (can be turkey)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
24 oz beer (cook’s choice)

Place bratwurst in a large saucepan.  Top with sliced onion.

Pour beer over top.  Use a beer you are willing to drink.

Turn heat to medium high and bring to a boil.  Once it starts bubbling, turn it down to low and let it simmer for about 8 minutes.

While the sausage are simmering, start your grill fire or preheat to high.

Remove the brats from the beer and place them on the grill.  Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently until evenly brown.

They would be excellent served on hearty buns topped with spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut, but I dished them up with sauerkraut perogies and sauteed onions.  And more beer, of course.

Just trying to represent.  Toast to Cleveland.  Na zdravi.  (To your health.)
