Bratwurst In Beer

It's summertime and that means time to bring out the grill.   We are proud owners of a new grill this year.  It has been a joy grilling on it.  We have grilled the usual to break it in, hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, chicken, brats.  Everything has tasted delicious.

Today, I want to share a favorite recipe of ours for Bratwurst In Beer.  Bratwurst are grilled and then placed in a pot or  disposable foil roasting pan with butter, onions, garlic, and beer.  Keep them in the beer until they are ready to serve. 

These are the best tasting brats around.  The beer adds a great flavor as do the onions and garlic.  You can serve the brats with the onions but we prefer sauerkraut. 

This is perfect for your Fourth of July Celebrations.
