Brats precooked in beer & grilled on top of the stove

As the air turns crisp and the leaves turn colors, it’s time for fall foods such as brats! Precooking them adds flavor, shortens the grilling time and insures they are cooked through. 

Brats precooked in beer & grilled on top of the stove 

1 to 2 tablespoons butter

1 small onion, sliced 

1 tall can of beer or enough to cover brats (use part water if preferred)

2 to 3 teaspoons mustard seeds

Package of uncooked brats (mine contained 5)

1. Heat butter of medium low; add onion and cook until tender.
2. Add beer and mustard seeds and heat to almost boiling.
3. Add brats and simmer for about 12 minutes (avoid boiling so the brats don’t burst).
   
   
   
4. Remove and drain. Can be refrigerated at this point and grilled when ready to eat.
5. Grill on preheated stove top grill pan (medium high temperature), turning to get grill marks — grill about 5 to 10 minutes of until an instant read thermometer reads at least 160°F. Add cooked grill to grill at the end.
6. Serve on warm buns with sauerkraut and mustard as desired. We recommend our 40-Minute Hot Dog Buns . . . yes, they really are done, start to finish in 40 minutes!
