MAKE AHEAD GRILLED BRATS AND BEER WISCONSIN STYLE



Make Ahead Grilled Brats and Beer Wisconsin Style image

These are great to make ahead for cookouts or tailgating. Especially if you need the grill for other foods. They can be reheated in a foil pan on the grill, in the oven or in a crock pot. They can be made a day ahead, the morning of, or served right away. You need fresh bratwurst for this, not the smoked or white colored sausage. We've already made 100 of these ahead for large groups.

GRILLED BEER BRATS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Beer Brats with Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for oiling the grill
6 strips applewood-smoked bacon, diced
1 sweet onion, sliced
1 large green pepper, seeded, sliced
1 large red pepper, seeded, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Two 12-ounce cans lager beer
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 pounds fresh bratwurst sausages (about 12 links)
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, deep saute pan or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, the green and red peppers and the garlic and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the peppers are wilted and lightly browned. Add the beer, chicken stock, thyme, bay leaf and rosemary and deglaze the pan. Prick holes in the brats with a fork or skewer to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Add the brats to the pan, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 to 17 minutes, turning the brats halfway through.
  • Preheat a grill or cast-iron griddle to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the brats from the pot; let the braising liquid continue to simmer and reduce. Pat the brats dry with paper towels, then score them diagonally, making 3 or 4 shallow incisions on either side (this will ensure plenty of crispy edges when grilled). Brush the grill lightly with oil and grill the brats for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until well-marked.
  • When the braising liquid has reduced to the consistency of a sauce, remove it from the heat and stir in the mustard and butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spoon some of the braising sauce, along with the peppers and onions, onto a platter. Set the grilled brats on top and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

BEER BRATS



Beer Brats image

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!

Provided by SarahBeth

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 5 brats, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 (12 ounce) cans beer
5 uncooked bratwursts (we like Johnsonville best)
1/8 cup yellow mustard
1/8 cup stone ground mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 medium onion, cut into rings about 1/3 of an inch thick
sauerkraut (optional)
1 large red bell pepper (cut in rings the same size as the onions)
5 hot dog buns or 5 hoagie rolls

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.
