#3255 - Bratwursts and Sauerkraut

(by Shirley McNevich)

12 bratwursts
1 large sweet onion (more if you wish)
1/2 stick butter
beer
1 bag sauerkraut
long rolls

Peel the onion, then cut and separate the onion into rings. In a Dutch oven add the bratwursts, onions and butter--keep pouring beer into the mixture until everything is covered. Turn heat to medium--cook (stirring occasionally) until mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat back to simmer and cook (stirring occasionally) until bratwursts are completely cooked and onions are tender. Prepare sauerkraut according to bag directions. Use tongs to carefully remove the bratwursts from the beer mixture, then place them on your outdoor grill until the outsides of the bratwursts are well browned. Use a slotted spatula to remove the onions from the beer mixture. Serve bratwursts on long rolls with the sauerkraut and onions.
