Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cans lager beer, such as Pabst Blue Ribbon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 fresh bratwursts
8 fresh hot dog buns, toasted
Beer Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups sauerkraut, drained
Dijon mustard, for topping
1 to 2 tablespoons pickled jalapenos, chopped
12 ounces pasteurized cheese product, cubed, such as Velveeta
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup reserved beer braising liquid, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  • Brown the brats on the grill, covering with a metal bowl if using a grill pan, until you get nice grill marks on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes.

  • Add the cheese and mustard to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth. Add the beer braising liquid and stir to combine. Add more braising liquid if the sauce is too thick; the sauce should be velvety.

BEER GLAZED BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT



Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut image

I came up with this recipe, because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. A very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and ice cold beer on the side.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅛ teaspoon celery seeds
⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained

Steps:

  • Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
  • Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

BRATS WITH BEER GRAVY -- MAN FUEL



Brats With Beer Gravy -- Man Fuel image

A simple, yet delicious meal that you cannot get enough of. Ladies, if your man doesn't inhale this, then next time make him quiche. The beer gravy in the pictures is made with Guiness Extra Stout. That is why it looks so dark. You can make this with any style beer, its all good.

Provided by Chef Booshman

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1 lb) package bratwurst (5 per package)
1 (12 ounce) beer
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 beef bouillon cubes (or packets)
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Cook Brats over medium heat. Pierce casings all over with pointed end of knife or use fork. This will allow the fat to drip out into pan and prevent sausages from bursting. Brown on all sides until no pink shows on inside. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • To make gravy: Take a container with a sealable lid (like tupperware) and pour the beer into it. Add Italian seasoning, beef boullion, pepper and cornstarch. Place lid on tight and shake to blend ingredients. Open lid between shakes to relieve the gas pressure from the beer or you'll have a big mess to clean up.
  • Pour beer mixture into pan drippings. Turn up heat to medium high. Stir using a wire whisk, loosening bits from bottom of pan. Gravy is done when you see it bubbling.
  • Too thick? Add more beer. Too thin? Add more beer mixed with a little cornstarch. Do not add dry cornstarch directly to hot gravy. You will get lumps.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie.
