Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 6 bratwurst sausages
  • 12 ounces beer
  • 2 orange or red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 vidalia onion sliced
  • hot dog buns, mustard, ketchup optional

Instructions
 

  • Place a cast iron skillet on your grill and allow it to get hot. While heating, grill the bratwursts until charred on either side, roughly 3-4 minutes/side.
  • After bratwursts are charred, add them to the cast iron skillet on the grill. Add sliced peppers and onions and pour the beer over top of everything. Make sure peppers and onions are down in the beer, allowing them to caramelize.
  • Cook undisturbed for roughly 20-25 minutes, which will allow the beer to reduce.
  • Serve brats with peppers + onions on top. You can eat them without bread or on a hot dog bun. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Make sure the peppers and onions are down in the beer when placed in the cast iron skillet; you will want them to caramelize!
  2.  The brats, peppers, and onions need not be flipped or stirred around; simply let them cook undisturbed.
