Labor Day Beer Brats


Beer Brats
I wrote this recipe for anyone on the road or in a hurry.  Easy ingredients and easy grilling!

Beer Bath:
1 onion, sliced thin
a pat of butter or a tablespoon of cooking oil
1 14oz can chicken broth
1 12 oz. Bottle your favorite beer 
As many brats as you want to grill (if cooking for a huge crowd double or even triple beer bath)

Sauté the onion slices until soft and starting to brown.  Add beer and broth.  Bring to a simmer and then add the brats.  Bring to full boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.  Simmer for 20 minutes.  Turn the brats down and keep them warm over a low heat until ready to grill.  Toss them on the grill as needed.  Brown and serve with what ever fixins you like.  I always spoon out a few of the onion slices to top mine, but that’s just me!
