Beer Braised Bratwurst Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add bratwurst and onion; cook and stir until bratwurst starts to brown and onion softens. Stir in beer. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in bratwurst reads 165° and brats are no longer pink, 12-14 minutes., Remove brats and onions; keep warm. Add remaining butter to pan; whisk in flour, dill weed and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened, 3-5 minutes. To serve, place 1 brat on each slice of bread; top evenly with onions and gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Tear off a 20-inch-long piece of heavy-duty foil. Put the onion, garlic and bay leaf on the foil, piling them on one side; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dot with the butter and place the bratwurst on top. Fold the foil over the onions and bratwurst, then fold in the edges on two sides to seal, leaving one side open. Carefully pour the beer into the open side, then fold in the edge to seal.
• Place the foil packet on the grill onion-side down; cook 10 minutes, then carefully flip and continue grilling until the onion is softened and the bratwurst is warmed through, 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, grill the rolls until toasted.
• Carefully open the packet. Remove the bratwurst and grill, turning, until lightly charred all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Return to the packet to toss with the onion. Serve with the rolls, sauerkraut and mustard.

Steps:

• Place brats in a Dutch oven with onions and butter, cover the brats with beer. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until brats are cooked. Remove brats and set aside beer mixture. Grill brats until golden brown and return to beer mixture until ready to serve. Serve brats on fresh baked brat buns with sauerkraut, onions, green peppers, ketchup, and/or mustard.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add the oil, onions, peppercorns and bay leaf. Add the sausage. Saute until the sausages begin to brown and the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Add the ale. Be sure to turn the sausages over and continue cooking, another 2 minutes. Cook on low for 20 minutes. Serve the bratwurst with the braised onions on crusty rolls with spicy mustard.
