BEER BRATS
Fans of Midwestern-style beer brats have strong opinions about the best way to prepare them. Some like to simmer the bratwurst in beer before browning them on the grill (as is the case here); some prefer grilling first, soaking in beer after. But everyone agrees that the brats should start out fresh and uncooked (rather than precooked, like hot dogs), then be served on a split, toasted roll with onions and plenty of mustard. Purists may shun adding the likes of ketchup, pickles and sauerkraut to the sandwich, but when you're the cook, you get to choose which condiments to put out - or set aside.

Steps:
- Light a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high.
- In a medium pot over high heat, bring beer and half the onions to a simmer (save remaining onions for serving). Add bratwurst to the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until they are just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer sausages to the grill, and grill until they're well browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes, turning often.
- If you like, while the brats are grilling, let the beer and onions boil over high heat until the onions are very soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve onions for serving.
- Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until golden, about 1 minute. Serve the brats sandwiched in the rolls and topped with onions (either raw or beer-braised, or both), along with any condiments you like.

BEER BRATS
This is our family's way of making beer brats! We love them this way and they are even better re-grilled the next day! Depending on how much you drink while you are prepping you may need more or less beer!

Steps:
- Get a large grill safe dish (we use the reynolds disposable roasters), place the onions, red bell peppers (if using) and brats in the bottom.
- Mix the two mustards, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar together and dump this mixture over the brats and onions etc.
- Stir until the onions and brats are evenly coated.
- Pour enough beer into the dish to cover the brats and onion, then give it a slight stir to mix the mustard mixture with the beer.
- Put in fridge and let sit at least 30 minutes, but an hour or two is much better. When marinating time is up, remove and let come to room temperature.
- Pre heat your grill to medium high heat.
- Place the container directly on the grate and cook the brats in the beer mixture for 10-15 minutes, until the beer is steamy and hot. Remove from heat. But do not discard yet.
- Turn the grill down to medium heat (or however you like your brats grilled).
- Remove the onions and brats from the beer mixture. Then place the brats on one side of the grill and the onions on the other.
- Grill brats and onions, turning occasionally until done. Each time you turn, baste with the remaining beer mixture. The onions should be somewhat caramelized and soft.
- Discard the remaining beer mixture and serve on buns or hoagies with sauerkraut and other condiments as desired.
