GRILLED BEER BRATS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large, deep saute pan or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, the green and red peppers and the garlic and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the peppers are wilted and lightly browned. Add the beer, chicken stock, thyme, bay leaf and rosemary and deglaze the pan. Prick holes in the brats with a fork or skewer to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Add the brats to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 to 17 minutes, turning the brats halfway through.
- Preheat a grill or cast-iron griddle to medium-high heat.
- Remove the brats from the pot; let the braising liquid continue to simmer and reduce. Pat the brats dry with paper towels, then score them diagonally, making 3 or 4 shallow incisions on either side (this will ensure plenty of crispy edges when grilled). Brush the grill lightly with oil and grill the brats for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until well-marked.
- When the braising liquid has reduced to the consistency of a sauce, remove it from the heat and stir in the mustard and butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon some of the braising sauce, along with the peppers and onions, onto a platter. Set the grilled brats on top and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:
- Heat a large braiser or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausages and brown on all sides until browned but not cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and let cool until cool enough to handle, then slice them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the vegetables over low heat until they're very soft, beginning to caramelize and have some spots of browning, about 40 minutes. If the vegetables start to look like they're getting too browned too quickly, add a splash of water to deglaze.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and the sausages to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking until the sausages are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.
CROCK POT BRATWURST AND PEPPERS
My brother-in-law shared this recipe with us. It is a very easy and delicious recipe. A nice variation from grilled brats, particularly during very cold weather when you don't want to get the grill out, or when you're too busy watching a Green Bay Packer game! This recipe is definitely a Midwest U.S. region favorite.

Steps:
- Lightly brown bratwursts in butter.
- Layer one half of the bell peppers, onion and apple in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Place 3 bratwursts on top.
- Repeat with remaining veggies and bratwurst.
- Pour beer over all.
- Cook on high for 1- 2 hours.
- Turn to low and cook at least 4 more hours.
- Serve brat and pepper mixture on rolls with mustard or favorite condiment.
- Excellent with sauerkraut and German potato salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right bratwurst: Look for fresh, high-quality bratwurst that is made from pork or beef. Avoid brats that are overly processed or contain a lot of fillers.
- Boil the brats before grilling: This will help to prevent them from splitting open on the grill. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the brats, and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Drain the brats and pat them dry.
- Grill the brats over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside while still cooking evenly on the inside. Grill the brats for 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
- Use a variety of peppers: Feel free to mix and match different types of peppers, such as bell peppers, poblano peppers, and jalapeño peppers. This will add a variety of flavors and textures to the dish.
- Don't forget the beer: The beer in this recipe helps to tenderize the brats and adds a delicious flavor. Use a beer that you enjoy drinking, such as a light lager or a dunkelweizen.
Conclusion:
Root beer brats and peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The brats are juicy and flavorful, the peppers are tender and slightly spicy, and the beer adds a unique and delicious flavor to the dish. Serve the brats and peppers on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as sauerkraut, mustard, and onions.
