Ingredients

• 5 pieces bratwurst sausages
• 24 ounces beer
• 2 onions
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 5 pieces hot dog buns
• 0 to taste mustard
• 0 to taste sauerkraut

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Place the bratwurst sausages into the pot with the onions and garlic.

Step 4

Pour the beer over the bratwursts, ensuring they are completely covered. If necessary, add a little water to cover completely.

Step 5

Add salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This will infuse the bratwursts with flavor.

Step 7

Preheat an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Using tongs, carefully remove the bratwursts from the pot and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the bratwursts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice, golden-brown color.

Step 9

Warm the hot dog buns on the grill for about 30 seconds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the grilled bratwursts in the buns, topped with onions from the pot, a healthy dollop of mustard, and sauerkraut as preferred.
