Step 1

In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, add the brats, 1 sliced onion, the beer, and 1/2 of a stick of butter cut into cubes. Make sure the beer is just covering the meat.

Step 2

Bring the beer mix to a slow boil, turn the heat to medium-low, and simmer the bratwurst for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the bratwurst from the liquid and clean out the pan, making sure to scoop out the savory onions to serve alongside the bratwurst.  Pan-fry them in a skillet with a little oil for 3 minutes on each side until brown. The internal temperature should be at least 160F to be properly cooked.
