How to Make Midwestern Style Beer Brats
- Prick bratwurst all over with a fork.
- In a medium pot, combine 1 lb bratwurst, 12 oz beer (any light lager recommended), and 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook for 15 minutes, or until brats are firm and cooked through.
- Remove brats from pot; reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Set brats aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color). Cook for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are softened, stirring occasionally.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the cooked brats to the skillet and lightly brown on all sides.
- If vegetables are browning too quickly, add a few tablespoons of the reserved bratwurst cooking liquid.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve brats on buns, topped with mustard and the sauteed peppers and onions.
