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.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 fresh bratwursts
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (do not use light beer)
softened butter
4 crusty rolls or 4 hot dog buns
German mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer) or dijon-style mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer)
chopped fresh onion
pickle, sliced
sauerkraut (optional)

Steps:

  • Pierce each bratwurst 4 times with a fork and put the sausages in a pan large enough to hold them in one layer.
  • Add beer and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain bratwurst; place on a prepared grill over medium-high heat.
  • Grill for about 10 minutes or until well browned.
  • Lightly butter the rolls; you can either toast them under the broiler or grill them until they are golden brown.
  • Put brats in rolls; serve with mustard, onion, and pickles or sauerkraut.
  • Sheboygan natives have been known to douse their bratwurst sandwiches with lots of hot melted butter.
