  • Pour the beer into a medium size saucepan with heatproof handle. Place the saucepan on the grill and pierce each brat with a knife and add to the beer. Simmer brats for 15 minutes, turning them once.
  • While the brats are simmering, thinly slice the onion and separate into rings.
  • Place the onion rings on a sheet of heavy duty foil. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

  • Place brats in the rolls and top with the onion rings. Enjoy.

Notes

Store bought brats are fair cost, but if you make them yourself, this is then a low cost per serving dish.
Shortcut: Bratwurst.
