Ingredients: Oven Roasted Beer Brats
The best part about this recipe is how simple it is to make. You start by browning the brats in a skillet to get that nice, crispy exterior. Then, you simmer them in beer with onions and garlic, which not only infuses the brats with flavor but also makes them incredibly juicy. After that, it’s just a quick bake in the oven, and you’re ready to serve.
- 8 bratwurst sausages
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 oz. bee, use your favorite
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 split brioche rolls, for serving
- Mustard and sauerkraut, for topping
How to Make Oven Roasted Beer Brats
These beer brats are perfect for serving on a soft brioche roll, topped with your favorite mustard and some sauerkraut for a bit of tang. The beer adds a subtle bitterness that pairs perfectly with the savory sausage, while the onions and garlic add sweetness and depth. It's a simple meal that feels special, especially when you use a beer you really enjoy.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Push the onions and garlic to the side of the skillet and add the bratwurst sausages. Brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
- Pour in the beer, enough to cover the brats halfway. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the brats and onions to a baking dish, pouring the beer mixture over them. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the brats are cooked through and browned.
- Serve the oven-roasted beer brats on brioche rolls, topped with mustard and sauerkraut if desired. Enjoy!
Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
- The flavor of the beer will come through in the brats, so choose one you enjoy drinking. A lager or pilsner works well, but feel free to experiment with different types.
- Browning the brats in the skillet before baking adds a lot of flavor and gives them a nice, crispy texture. It’s worth the extra few minutes!
- Make sure your baking dish is just large enough to hold the brats and onions snugly. This helps keep the brats submerged in the beer mixture, which infuses them with flavor as they bake.
- After baking, let the brats rest in the beer and onion mixture for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together even more.
- While mustard and sauerkraut are classic, feel free to top your brats with whatever you like—grilled peppers, onions, or even a little cheese make great additions.
