WISCONSIN BRATWURST

    
Makes 4 servings


" This is the only way to cook bratwurst in Wisconsin. The brats are incredibly tasty! If you can get fresh bratwurst from a sausage shop, do it... its worth the extra cost. Packaged bratwurst is okay, but there's nothing like fresh brats. Serve with brown mustard and on hoagie rolls; serve on substantial hoagie rolls, never on hot dog buns. Mustard is important - it must stone ground mustard. Add warm sauerkraut if you want it, and ketchup if you desire. Chow down! Think about those Wisconsin summers! Listen to some polka! "
 

2 pounds bratwurst
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 cup butter
6 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles beer
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
 
1 Prick bratwurst with fork so they won't explode as they cook, and add to a large stew pot. Add onions and butter or margarine, and slowly pour beer into the pot. Place pot over medium heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
2 Preheat grill for medium high heat.
3 Lightly oil grate, and place bratwurst on grill. Cook for 10 to 14 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Serve hot off the grill.
