Ingredients

12 uncooked bratwursts
two 12-ounce bottles of beer (not dark)
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
2 large onions, chopped
6 hard rolls, halved and well buttered

Accompaniments:

sliced or chopped onions
sliced dill pickles
Bavarian mustard, and/or ketchup

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill.

    Step 2

    Grill bratwursts on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning occasionally, until cooked through and dark golden brown, about 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    While bratwursts are cooking, in a 3-quart saucepan heat beer, butter, and onions, stirring occasionally, until warm. Keep marinade warm over low heat.

    Step 5

    Remove bratwursts from marinade with tongs. Put a pair of "brats," cut in half lengthwise and stacked on each roll.

    Step 6

    With a slotted spoon put onions from marinade on brats.

    Step 7

    Apply your chosen accompaniments to brats.
