Directions
- Before you get started, open one of the beers for yourself, to make sure it's good enough to use for the brats. If it is, proceed to step 2...
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet, melt 2 T of your preferred fat (butter, lard, tallow) over medium high heat. Once hot (325-350°F), add the brats and cook on each side for 3 minutes or until a deep golden brown color. Pull out of the pan to cook the onions.
- Melt 2 more Tablespoons of your favorite fat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add 1 bottle of beer to the onions and add the brats back in, turn to medium-low heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Flip the brats and cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the internal temp is 160°F.
- Let rest for 5 minutes. Remove and discard rosemary.
- Serve brats on a bed of orzo with sauce & onions or in a bun with onions and a grainy mustard.
- Congratulate yourself on making some delicious above-average brats and enjoy the ? amount of beers remaining!
