These awesome brats are simmered in beer with onions and spices to make them bursting with flavor before finishing them off on the grill. Place the grilled brats in hot dog rolls, and top them with the tender onions and mustard, or serve them alongside German potato salad.
4 (12 ounce) cans beer
1 large onion, thinly sliced
10 bratwurst
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Transfer bratwurst to a plate. Reduce heat to low and let onions simmer until needed.
Cook bratwurst on the preheated grill, turning occasionally to get char marks, until no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Serve bratwurst with onions.
