Sheboygan Double Brats N Beer Recipes

SHEBOYGAN GRILLED BRATS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the sliced onions for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes. Add the beer and let simmer while the bratwursts are cooking on the grill.
• Grill the bratwursts for 30 to 35 minutes, turning often. Be careful not to poke holes in the casing. Remove the bratwursts from the grill and simmer in the beer sauce for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot with onions on the rolls.

SHEBOYGAN DOUBLE BRATS 'N BEER

Steps:

• Pierce bratwurst with fork. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a dip pan. Test for medium heat above pan. Place bratwurst on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 20 to 30 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into bratwurst registers 160°F turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.).
• Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, combine beer, butter and onion. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Place bratwursts in beer mixture; keep warm in beer mixture until serving time.
• Serve bratwursts on a roll. Top with thinly-sliced onions, pickles and mustard.

CLASSIC SHEBOYGAN "BRATS"

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Grill bratwursts on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning occasionally, until cooked through and dark golden brown, about 20 minutes. (You will need to mist the coals with water to keep "brats" from being scorched when fat drips down and flames erupt.)
• Put a pair of brats, cut in half lengthwise and stacked, on each roll.
• Smother brats with accompaniments.
