How to Make Beer Simmered Brats
- Prepare your grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high heat.
- In a medium pot, combine 12 ounces of beer (any kind you enjoy!), 1 teaspoon of your favorite seasoning blend (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, paprika), 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and 1 pound of bratwurst sausages.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer; do not boil.
- Simmer the brats for 6-8 minutes, or until they are partially cooked. Do not let them boil, or they may burst.
- Carefully remove the brats from the pot using a slotted spoon. Drain well, reserving the onions and beer liquid.
- Place the brats on the preheated grill, positioning them parallel to the grates.
- Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160-165°F (71-74°C).
- Serve the brats immediately on buns with the reserved onions and your favorite mustard or toppings. Enjoy!
