Pan-Fried Beer and Onion Bratwurst

bratwurst sausages

Tbsp unsalted butter ((or use olive oil, vegetable or corn oil))

onion

Belgian ale ((or any dark, malty beer of your choice))

Preheat a cast iron pan over a medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt and start to turn light brown. The temperature should be about 325-350F at this point.

Sear bratwurst for about 3 minutes per side, until it achieves deep golden brown color.&nbsp;

Add the onions and the beer, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Once the liquid is boiling, reduce heat and continue cooking, flipping the sausages and stirring the onions, until the internal temperature of the sausages reaches 160F. Cook uncovered to let the liquid reduce and intensify its flavor.

Remove bratwurst from heat and serve hot, on a bun, or with you favorite side dish.

Smoked brats are a delicious lunch or dinner idea you can make in your pellet or electric smoker this week! If you haven't smoked sausage yet, try this!&nbsp;

Smoked Brats

Preheat your smoker to 350 degrees. We used hickory pellets to make these, apple works well too.&nbsp; If you want a longer smoke set to 225.

Place your raw brats on your grill grate and close lid. After 15 minutes lift lid and flip each one over on to the other side.&nbsp; If you set to the lower temp then flip after 1 hour.

Smoke for an additional 15 minutes. Remove and serve!&nbsp; Lower temp takes a total of 2 hours.

Chef Tom grinds, seasons, and cases some delicious beer brats with one of our favorite beers, New Belgium Fat Tire.

Beer Braised Beer Brats

LEM Backwoods 32-35 mm Natural Hog Casings

lb pork

LEM Backwoods Bratwurst Seasoning

oz New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale

yellow onions, sliced

(1 stick) butter

House of Q House Rub

fl oz (3 bottles) New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale

brat buns

Kansas Flavor Jalapeño Mustard

Soak the LEM Backwoods 32-35 mm Natural Hog Casings in room temperature water for 45-60 minutes. Rinse the insides of the casing by running water through them. Store in the refrigerator.

To make the sausage, whisk together the LEM Backwoods Bratwurst Seasoning and Fat Tire. Combine with the ground pork. Mix well in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until the mixture becomes tacky and holds together.

Transfer to a sausage stuffer. Place the casings on the horn. Tie off the end and stuff the sausage in one long spiral. Don’t stuff too full. You need to leave room for twisting the individual links. Tie off the other end of the casing. Measure the length of one link (about 6”) and pinch the casing. Measure another link. Pinch again. Twist the link between the two pinches. Repeat the “pinch, pinch, twist” process until all links are formed.

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet grill to 400°F, set up for direct grilling with GrillGrates. Place a Lodge Logic 7 quart dutch oven in the cooker to preheat. When the pan is hot add the butter and onions and season with House of Q House Rub. Cook 10-15 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened.

Add the bratwursts and 3 bottles of Fat Tire. Cook uncovered until the internal temperature of the sausages reaches about 140°F, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the brats to the GrillGrates and grill to achieve grill marks on all sides. Remove from the grill when the brats have color and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Serve on toasted buns with the onions from the beer braise and Kansas Flavor Jalapeño Mustard.

New Belgium Fat Tire Beer Brats

Smoked Brat Burgers are simple to prepare and ready for sauerkraut, mustards, pickles, and melty cheese. Formed into brat patties, the seasoned pork is smoked and seared on the grill. Grab your favorite buns and beer, it’s time to grill.

Smoked Brat Burgers

bratwurst,

pepper,

Onion buns or rolls

sauerkraut

Dill pickles

mayonnaise

Dijon mustard

horseradish

fresh dill, chopped

pickle juice

Take a sharp knife and run it down the casing lengthwise. Open up the meat and remove it from the casing, adding it into a mixing bowl. Combine all of the meat from the bratwurst and form into patties about 1/2&#8243; thick, pressing a small indent in the center. Place the patties on parchment or wax paper lined on a baking sheet, and chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes.

Prepare the horseradish Dijonnaise by mixing all ingredients together. Season to taste and chill in the fridge until needed.

Preheat the smoker or grill for indirect cooking. I recommend a charcoal grill if possible, as you&#8217;ll be searing the burgers at the end. Set up a cool side with the warm coals on the other, aiming for around 275-300°F internal temperature. Add wood chunks or chips for additional flavor.

Smoke the brat burgers. Sprinkle some ground black pepper on the top and place them on the grill, away from the coals. Cook for about 30-45 minutes until they are around 145-150°F internal temperature.

Sear the burgers. Move them over the coals and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until done. Be careful of flare-ups from the pork fat. 

Add the cheese if using, and move the burgers back to the cool side to allow the cheese to melt for a minute.

Assemble the burgers with the Dijonnaise, sauerkraut, and pickles. Crack a beer and enjoy!

This tasty recipe for making your own homemade German style bratwurst is sure to be a hit with guests at your next BBQ and grilling cookout. With a silky smooth texture and perfect snap from the casing, these classic bratwursts are perfect for the grill and put the mass produced store bought versions to shame.

Bratwurst Recipe

pork shoulder

beef or pork fat

Morton Coarse Kosher Salt

sugar

black pepper

garlic powder

dry mustard

savory

mace

milk

Prep. Before making sausage, please familiarize yourself with best practices as described in our article on The Science Of Sausage Making.

Slice the meat and fat into cubes removing gristle and sinew. Place it on a plate or pan in the freezer, along with the grinder parts that will contact the meat. Leave it there for about 20 minutes until it is firm but do not let it freeze. This makes grinding easier.

Grind it with a 1/4&quot; (6.3 mm) die. Mix in the other ingredients. To get the right classic brat texture, transfer the mix to a food processor and pulse till smoothly emulsified.

Pinch off a small piece of the sausage and cook it in a frying pan let it cool and taste to see if the seasoning is to your taste. Brats are almost always served as links, but if you wish, nobody will arrest you if you form it into patties, meatballs, or skinless tubes. At least not outside of Wisconsin.

Cook. You can then grill or smoke it, or store it in the fridge for about 5 days or in the freezer for about a month.

There are few ways to make a summer afternoon more enjoyable than a cookout hosted by someone who knows how to grill brats to perfection. These tips will help you host your next cookout like a pro!

How to Grill Brats to Perfection

vegetable oil

onions

Favorite condiments

Light charcoal and spread it evenly across the bottom of one-half of the grill. If using propane, light burners only on one side of the grill.

Place grill grates over the charcoal and oil grates with paper towel soaked in vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place brats on grates directly over charcoal and grill on each side until browned. If the casing bursts or burns move brats further from the coals to reduce cooking temperature.

Turn the brats every couple of minutes to prevent burning, moving them further away from the hot coals if needed, and cook brats for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Cooked brats are firm to the touch.

Keep bratwursts warm in a Brat Bath until ready to serve.

Serve on buns with onions, sauerkraut, and brat sauce.
