Bratwurst Bath

Ingredients

1 aluminum foil baking pan

1 stick butter

3 to 4 bottles (12 ounces) beer

2 medium yellow onions, sliced

1 pound container sauerkraut, drained

12 to 16 bratwursts

12 to 16 bratwurst buns or hard rolls

Mustard

Directions

  1. Place the foil pan on the grill over indirect heat. Add beer, kraut, butter, and onions. Cook until the onions are soft.
  2. At the same time, grill the brats over low-to-medium direct heat.
  3. When the bratwursts are done, put them directly into the foil pan “bath.”
  4. Serve bratwursts on buns with sauerkraut, onions, and mustard on top.

The Bratwurst Bath works equally well on a grill (indirect heat), in an oven (250 degrees), or in a slow cooker (on “Warm”). Prepare the bath mixture and grill the bratwursts ahead of time (even the night before), then simply combine everything and reheat it to serve.

Our Customers Love Us

We had very high expectations when Texas Custom Patios began construction on our back patio space. Because our roofline has a steep pitch and the odd location of our chimney, we were concerned about whether the addition would flow seamlessly with the rest of the roofline. Steven and his crews far exceeded our expectations. Professional and attentive to our concerns, Texas Custom Patios created the outdoor space we’ve always wanted – only better.
