BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST WITH ONIONS AND RED CABBAGE SAUERKRAUT
Steps:
- Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the onion slices and garlic along the bottom of a medium stockpot.

Simmer the sausages in the mixture for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 10 minutes.
- Remove the sausages with a pair of tongs onto a platter. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Grill the sausages until the casings are crisp and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the bratwurst on the buns with the onions, mustard and sauerkraut, if desired. Garnish with pickles, pickled beets, and pickled eggs, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill for direct grilling. If using charcoal, arrange it so that you have areas of medium-high and low to medium-low heat.

Whisk in the 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a fondue pot and keep warm.

- Add vegetables to the simmering liquid: Vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery will add flavor and depth to the simmering liquid. You can also add herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Serve the bratwurst with your favorite sides: Bratwurst can be served with a variety of sides, such as sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables. You can also serve it on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as mustard, ketchup, or relish.
