GRILLED BRATS, SHEBOYGAN STYLE



Grilled Brats, Sheboygan Style image

I have never been to Sheboygan, Wisconsin but I am told it is refered to as the "Wurst City in the World". Bratwurst was brought to America by German immigrants. There is disagreement even among Wisconsinites re: the "only" way to cook brats. Here is one way that my husband tried out on us. I loved it and decided to post this recipe.

SHEBOYGAN GRILLED BRATS



Sheboygan Grilled Brats image

Growing up on a lake in the Sheboygan area, this was a standard way that the German folks would grill their brats. We always served them on the old-fashioned hard rolls. By finishing them in the beer sauce they just get better and better. Though it's expensive, on special occasions I use a dark beer which is not German at all: Guinness Irish Stout. Around our house, we eat them with ketchup and mustard, and the cooked onions from the brat sauce.
