Full StoryI served this for dinner last night, although we decided against the buns and just served fresh bread beside the brats. When they were finished cooking, I added Old Bay to the beer mixture and cooked up some shrimp. Rather decadent but really delicious!
Midwestern-Style Beer Brats
Recipe courtesy Deen Bros., 2007
Ingredients
 6 bratwurst sausages
 6 cups lager beer
 2 large onions, sliced, divided
 1 tablespoon olive oil
 2 red or green bell peppers, cored and sliced
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper
 6 bratwurst buns or hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
 Mustard
Directions
Prick the bratwurst all over with a fork. In a medium pot, combine the bratwurst, beer, and half the onions. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until bratwurst are firm and cooked through. Transfer the bratwurst to a plate. Reserve some of the cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining onions and the bell peppers. Cook about 15 minutes or until very soft, tossing occasionally. Add the bratwurst to the skillet in the last 5 minutes of cooking to lightly brown. If the vegetables begin to get too dark, add a few tablespoons of the bratwurst cooking liquid. Season with salt and black pepper.
To serve, spread each bun with mustard. Fill each bun with a brat. Top with sautéed peppers and onions.
