BEST BRAT BATH EVAH! MARINADE
Had this at a 4th of July picnic and it was fabulous. The cook injected the marinade into the brats, then grilled over an open fire. It was recommended to baste the brats in the marinade while cooking to get a wonderful, caramalized glaze. This is a definite keeper.

BRAT 'N' TOT BAKE
"Our town is dubbed the bratwurst capital of America," writes Jodi Gobrecht of Bucyrus, Ohio. "As a volunteer at our annual Bratwurst Festival, I could not have someone in my family who disliked bratwurst, so I developed this cheesy casserole for our son. It's the only way he will eat them."

BRATS--OUR STYLE
My husband and I used to boil brats in beer in the house before grilling, but have discovered that this method keeps them juicier and keeps the house from smelling like a brewery! Living in Wisconsin, we make these often during the summer and also a few times during the winter, when it's much less convenient to grill! We've been making all our brats this way for the past two or three years. We normally buy the large three pound packages of Johnsonville brats early in the summer and stock the freezer when the price is right, but this will certainly work for any other brat as well! Our children, ages 4 and 5, prefer these to hot dogs hands-down, and will sometimes each devour two of them in one meal! We like to serve these with corn on the cob, foil potato packets, grilled zucchini, or any other vegetable we can grill while the brats simmer! This is listed as 12 servings because there are 12 brats, but most people enjoy at least two brats!

Steps:
- Grill the brats on your BBQ grill over medium heat, turning occasionally and monitoring carefully so that you don't split the skins. We like ours a little on the darker side, but grill to your own preference. This typically takes us about 15 minutes.
- Pour two of the bottles of beer into a 9 x 13 cake pan, and place on the grill (We use an old one that we're not worried about staining or anything, but the disposable foil ones would work as well if you don't want to ruin a good pan).
- Add onions, garlic, and brats to the cake pan.
- Add as much of the third bottle of beer as possible, leaving a little room at the top so it won't boil over.
- Simmer on the grill while cooking the veggies or anything else for your meal on the other side of the grill. Start out at medium heat, and adjust down as necessary to avoid cooking too hard and splitting the brats open. They should just simmer lightly for 30-45 minutes for great flavor. Add additional beer as necessary. We usually boil until the beer is almost gone, but do not allow to boil completely dry!
- Remove the brats from liquid to serve as needed, allowing remaining brats to 'hang out' and stay hot in the liquid until needed. Serve on buns with desired toppings and garnishes. My favorite is with ketchup and mustard and cold sauerkraut, but my husband likes pickles or relish on his, and the kids are content with just ketchup, sometimes with a bun, sometimes without.
- Leftover brats reheat well if you do so slowly in the microwave. 100% power will blow them up, so procede with caution and use appropriate settings for your microwave.
- Enjoy!

SHEBOYGAN GRILLED BRATS
Growing up on a lake in the Sheboygan area, this was a standard way that the German folks would grill their brats. We always served them on the old-fashioned hard rolls. By finishing them in the beer sauce they just get better and better. Though it's expensive, on special occasions I use a dark beer which is not German at all: Guinness Irish Stout. Around our house, we eat them with ketchup and mustard, and the cooked onions from the brat sauce.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality brats: Look for brats that are made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices. Avoid brats that are made with fillers or preservatives.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your brats their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is packed with flavor, such as the one in this recipe.
- Marinate the brats for at least 4 hours: The longer you marinate the brats, the more time the flavors will have to penetrate the meat. If you are short on time, you can marinate the brats for as little as 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate them, the better they will taste.
- Cook the brats over medium heat: Cooking the brats over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and the inside will not have time to cook through.
- Serve the brats with your favorite toppings: There are many different ways to serve brats. Some popular toppings include sauerkraut, mustard, onions, and relish.
Conclusion:
Bratwurst is a delicious and versatile type of sausage that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are grilling them, pan-frying them, or baking them, be sure to follow these tips to ensure that your brats are cooked to perfection. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make bratwurst that is sure to impress your family and friends.
