Bratwurst Bath

Enjoy your barbeque as much as your guests will by prepping a delicious main course in advance. All you’ll need to do during your party is just heat it up – you’ll hardly miss a moment of fun! Prepare the bath mixture and grill the bratwursts ahead of time (even the night before), then simply combine everything and reheat it before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 aluminum foil baking pan
• 3 to 4 cans of beer[SH1]
• 1 stick of butter
• 2 medium yellow onions, sliced
• 1 pound sauerkraut, drained
• 12 to 16 bratwursts
• 12 to 16 buns or hard rolls
• Mustard

Directions

1. Place the foil pan on the grill over indirect heat. Add beer, sauerkraut, butter, and onions. Cook until the onions are soft.
2. At the same time, grill the brats over low-to-medium direct heat.
3. When the bratwursts are done, put them directly into the foil pan “bath.”
4. Serve bratwursts on buns with sauerkraut, onions, and mustard on top.
