Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
  • 1.5 cups lager beer any pale lager
  • 1 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 4 pieces hot dog buns optional, for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add bratwurst sausages to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 7 minutes.
  • Pour the lager beer over the sausages and onions. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes until sausages are cooked through and beer reduces slightly.
  • Serve the bratwurst hot in buns with the cooked onions and beer sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, try adding a splash of smoky BBQ sauce or grilling the brats before simmering.
