Ingredients

  • 4 fresh bratwursts
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (do not use light beer)
  • softened butter
  • 4 4 crusty rolls or 4 hot dog buns
  • German mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer) or dijon-style mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer)
  • chopped fresh onion
  • pickle, sliced
  • sauerkraut (optional)

Method

  • Pierce each bratwurst 4 times with a fork and put the sausages in a pan large enough to hold them in one layer.
  • Add beer and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain bratwurst; place on a prepared grill over medium-high heat.
  • Grill for about 10 minutes or until well browned.
  • Lightly butter the rolls; you can either toast them under the broiler or grill them until they are golden brown.
  • Put brats in rolls; serve with mustard, onion, and pickles or sauerkraut.
  • Sheboygan natives have been known to douse their bratwurst sandwiches with lots of hot melted butter.
