How to Make Brats In Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, gently simmer bratwurst in 2 cups of water over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid boiling to prevent casings from bursting.
  2. While brats simmer, prepare the sauce: In a small oven-safe dish, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill brats for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the grilled brats to the sauce dish. Place the dish on the grill (or in a preheated oven at 350°F) and gently warm the brats in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
  5. While the brats are warming, chop 1/2 cup yellow onion.
  6. To serve: Place a bratwurst in a bun. Spoon some sauce and chopped onion into the bun.
  7. Top with your favorite condiments such as mustard, ketchup, and relish.
