Beer Brats

    One of the summer staples at our house is brats. It seems that anytime we've got the grill hot and cooking we throw on some brats. The boys love them and they are an easy item to take for lunch to work. They reheat really well. 
    By cooking them in the beer and letting them steam, they don't dry out. The peppers and onions, even if you don't want them as a condiment, are good flavor additions. The nice thing, this is a quick and easy meal.


Beer Brats
1 pkg. 4-5 bratwurst
1/4 onion, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/4 of a beer


   Put brats in small skillet with lid. Pour beer around brats, cover and cook on medium heat until they almost boil. Reduce heat to simmer and add onions and peppers and let steam. Cook for about 30 minutes until fully cooked. Heat grill to high and put brats over direct heat for just 2-3 minutes to brown. Serve topped with pepper and onions.


(If cooking ahead, return brats to original pan and keep warm in beer for serving later.)
