Bratwurst Hot Tub

Ingredients:

• 8 uncooked bratwursts
• 2 cans of a light style beer
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 4 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 large white onion, cut into slices
• 1 large green pepper, cut into slices
• Solid buns that can hold up to moisture of the brats and onions
• Spicy brown mustard
• 1 disposable grill pan large enough to hold the brats and beer bath.

Directions:

• Set up your grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium.
• While the grill is heating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the brats and bring back up to a simmer for 10-12 min.
• At the same time, in a large saute pan melt the butter then add the onions & peppers and saute for 5-10 minutes till the veggies are just starting to soften. Transfer to a disposable grill pan then add the beer. Transfer pan to the grill to start getting warm.
• When the brats are finished simmering, transfer the brats to the grill and grill them for 10-12 min so that they are lightly charred on all sides.
• Transfer the brats back to the beer bath and keep on a very low simmer till you are ready to eat. They can sit for a long time in the bath before serving. Add enough warm water to cover the brats.
• Serve the brats topped with mustard, then piled with peppers and onions.

Notes:

• If you don't have a disposable grill pan, transfer everything to a pot large enough to hold the brats and peppers then simmer on low on the stove.
• Peppers - Mix it up. Try poblano's or sweet peppers.
