Juicy Beer Brats are an easy classic summer recipe. Fresh sausages marinated in onions and beer, grilled and topped with caramelized onions.

Just like Hamburgers and Kebabs, Beer Brats are a Summer staple you can cook indoors or outdoors all year round.

Sabrina’s Beer Brats Recipe

Whether it’s a tailgate party, Oktoberfest, or a summertime meal, you can’t beat a juicy brat on a hoagie roll. There’s no better way to make flavorful brats than marinating uncooked sausages in a beer bath, simmering for a bit, and finally finishing on a hot grill until they are golden brown. Top them off with some caramelized onions and maybe a little spicy mustard, and you’ll be the king of any block party.

Instructions

In a large container with a cover add the beer, onions, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk well.
Add the bratwurst to the container and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
Add the entire mixture to a large pot and just bring to a simmer. The bratwurst won't be cooked through all the way.
Remove the bratwurst and raise the heat on the remaining beer sauce to high heat.
Place the bratwurst on a hot griddle or grill. Cook through, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
While the brats are cooking, cook down the beer sauce and onions.
Brush the hot dog buns with vegetable oil and toast cut side down on your griddle
Serve the bratwurst with the cooked onions in your hot dog buns.
