Ingredients

• 4 links bratwursts
• 2 medium yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
• 1 cup beer (lager or pilsner preferred)
• 4 pieces sub rolls or bratwurst buns

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moon shapes.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir to coat the onions evenly.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 5

While the onions cook, prepare the creamy horseradish sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, horseradish, mayonnaise, and chopped chives (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 6

In a separate skillet or grill pan over medium heat, add the bratwursts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until browned all over.

Step 7

Pour the beer into the skillet with the bratwursts, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Allow the bratwursts to simmer in the beer for 10-12 minutes, ensuring they cook fully and absorb the flavor.

Step 8

Toast the sub rolls or bratwurst buns lightly, if desired.

Step 9

To assemble, place a bratwurst in each toasted roll, top with a generous portion of caramelized onions, and drizzle with creamy horseradish sauce.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Bratwursts with Caramelized Onions and Creamy Horseradish!
