Ingredients
  

  • 8 bratwurst sausages
  • 1 onion large, 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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.
