1 12-ounce bottle beer
Vegetable oil, for the grill
8 beef-and-cheddar brats
8 dark rye sesame rolls
Stone-ground mustard

Steps:

  • Set up a grill for direct cooking over high heat. Melt the butter in a large skillet on the grill or side burner. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

WISCONSIN BRATWURST



Wisconsin Bratwurst image

This is the only way to cook bratwurst in Wisconsin. The brats are incredibly tasty! If you can get fresh bratwurst from a sausage shop, do it... it is worth the extra cost. Serve with brown mustard on substantial hoagie rolls, never on hot dog buns. Mustard is important and must always be stone ground. Add warm sauerkraut and ketchup, if you like. Chow down! Think about those Wisconsin summers! Listen to some polka!

WISCONSIN BEER BRATS



Wisconsin Beer Brats image

For these brawny dogs, bratwursts are simmered in a mixture of beer with sweet onions, caraway seeds, and a spoonful of sugar, then charred on the grill. If you're going full-on, the onions are strained and sauteed in a skillet on the grill until golden, then mixed with sauerkraut. You'll be booed out of Wisconsin if you bring soft potato buns to the party -- for a true cheesehead, only a sturdy hoagie roll will do.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large sweet onions, such as Vidalia, halved and thinly sliced (4 cups)
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
6 precooked bratwursts
2 bottles (each 12 ounces) lager beer
2 cups sauerkraut, strained
6 hoagie rolls, split

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, grill-safe straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden in places, about 20 minutes. Stir in caraway seeds, bay leaf, mustard, and brown sugar; cook 30 seconds. Add bratwursts and beer. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, turning bratwursts occasionally, 20 minutes.
  • Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking (medium-high on a gas grill). Transfer bratwursts to a plate. Drain onion mixture in a fine-mesh sieve; discard liquid. Return mixture to skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place on one side of grill and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut; cook 1 minute more.
  • Meanwhile, place bratwursts on grill and cook, turning a few times, until blistered in places, about 5 minutes. Place rolls on grill, cut-sides down, until lightly toasted and charred in places, about 1 minute.
  • Serve bratwursts in rolls, topped with sauerkraut mixture and more mustard.

AUTHENTIC WISCONSIN BRATWURST!



Authentic Wisconsin Bratwurst! image

Every summer "Johnsonville" trucks roll up at local Super-Markets. Set up huge grills in the parking lot and cook their famous Bratwurst. This is their recipe!

Provided by Koechin Chef

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 bratwursts, fresh
2 (12 ounce) bottles dark beer
1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 lb sauerkraut, drained

Steps:

  • Bring the beer, onions and brown sugar to a boil. Place the Brats in the liquid and turn down to lowest heat, so they just simmer. Now get your grill fired up and when it's ready take your brats out of the beer and grill them. Since they are pretty well done, they need very little time on the grill. Turn the heat up to high under the beer. Dump in all or part of your drained sauerkraut. Let it cook on high until the brats come in from the grill (if you are not a lover of sauerkraut leave this off).
  • Condiments: Mustard, catsup, sweet pickle relish, raw onions as well as the sauerkraut onion mixture from the pot your brats where inches In Milwaukee we could buy a Brat Bun which is firmer more like French bread. But hot dog or hoagie buns will work too. :-).
  • When they cook them on the parking lots, they put the grilled brats right back into the beer and hold them there until people buy them. They have large pans sitting at the back of the grills. Since it's a promotion, they sell for $1.00. Yummmm!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality brats: Look for fresh, plump brats with a good meat-to-fat ratio. Avoid brats that are too pale or have an off smell.
  • Score the brats: This will help the brats cook evenly and prevent them from splitting.
  • Preheat your grill or pan: This will help to create a nice crust on the brats.
  • Cook the brats over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Turn the brats frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the brats until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit: You can check this using a meat thermometer.
  • Let the brats rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Wisconsin double brats are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are grilling them in the backyard or cooking them in a pan on the stovetop, these brats are sure to be a hit.
