A flavorful twist on the classic Wisconsin bratwurst, featuring beer-infused sausages and sweet caramelized onions.
Slice the onions thinly and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to ensure even slices for uniform cooking.
In a large stock pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and golden brown.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from burning.
Add the beer and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
Use a beer you enjoy drinking for the best flavor.
Prick the bratwurst with a fork and add them to the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Pricking the bratwurst prevents them from bursting during cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Remove the bratwurst from the pot and place them on the grill. Cook for 10 minutes, turning frequently for even browning.
Turn the bratwurst often to achieve even grill marks.
Place the grilled bratwurst in hoagie rolls and top with the caramelized onions. Serve immediately.
Serve with your favorite condiments like mustard or sauerkraut for added flavor.
