Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 large Vidalia onion
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces beer (preferably a lager or pilsner)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces brat buns or crusty rolls
- to taste mustard (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat.
Peel the Vidalia onions and slice them into thin rings.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium-sized pot, pour the beer and bring it to a low simmer over medium heat. Add the bratwursts to the simmering beer and let them cook for about 10 minutes. This will infuse the brats with flavor and ensure they are cooked through.
Remove the brats from the beer and pat them dry with a paper towel. Brush them lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the brats on the preheated grill. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice golden-brown char.
Lightly toast the brat buns or rolls on the grill for 1-2 minutes until warm and slightly crisp.
To assemble, place each brat in a bun and top generously with the caramelized Vidalia onions. Add mustard if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sheboygan Brats N Vidalia Onion!
