Delicious Beer Brats
Make these delicious Beer Boiled Brats and top with mustard and a quick homemade red pepper relish. They're so delish, no grilling needed!
Ingredients
- 5 bratwurst buns
- 5 tablespoon Dijon mustard, for topping
For the Beer Boiled Brats:
- 5 bratwurst, any flavor, uncooked
- 48 ounces light beer
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
For the Red Pepper Relish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 sweet yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a stock pot, add beer, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and garlic powder and bring to a boil.
- Add sliced onions to the beer mixture and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Then, add bratwursts. For a fast cook, bring to a boil, and cook for 12 minutes. For a slower cook, allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.
- (Optional) To caramelize the outside of the bratwurst, carefully remove from the pot with tongs. Add the brats to a greased baking sheet and carefully prick with a fork to keep the bratwurst from exploding in the oven. Broil the bratwursts on high for 2-3 minutes.
- You can return the brats to the beer solution on low or no heat to keep them warm before serving.
- For the red pepper relish, add olive oil to small skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add red peppers and onions, sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and vinegar, then reduce heat to low. Stir well and allow to cook down for an additional 5 minutes, until vegetables are soft.
- Assemble the brats on a bun with a hearty scoop of the red pepper relish and mustard (optional). Serve warm.
