I have made lots of beer brats and I would never us a precooked brat. If you can use Johnsonville. Slow cook the brats in a dutch oven with your choice of beer and onions (Guiness makes for a nice melt in your mouth brat or else be true to Wisco and use a Miller Product for about 2 hours. Don't boil cause you don't want to split the casing. Cook the brats on a Charcoal Grill, again be careful not to break the casing, and return the brats back to the beer. Let the guest serve themselves from the pot of beer brats. (Not on Rye Bread

Sandra, have you ever been to Wisconsin??? Everyone here KNOWS you boil the brats in beer before you grill them!! Hence the term "Beer Brats"! And rye buns? I agree with the other Wisconsinite, go with a white hard roll.

Tried this along with the Sheboygan Baked Beans and my wife and I loved them. In fact my wife told me that I should make the brats again and as soon as possible.

As with most of Sandra's recipes, this one was quick and simple, which is just what I'm looking for most of the time.

The brats are tastey and the beer braised onions are to die for. I didn't have any rye rolls, but the hoogie rolls were the perfect size. Stone ground mustard is a definite must, as I used Guldens for the first serving of these, but bought some Inglehoffs for the leftovers and it makes a HUGE difference.

I'm from Wisconsin, and the only brats we ever use are JOHNSONVILLE. Since moving away, this brand is hard to find, however once in awhile my grocer will get a shipment. If you find it, I suggest buying it up. Once you have johnsonville, you will realize nothing is as good. Normal white oversize buns will do, we never use dark rye?? Sounds gross. The actual buns we use are found no where else in the US, literally. So go with any white hard roll.

This meal was excellent, the onions were fabulous on the cheddarwurst something I'd never tried and I always do an Oktoberfest for either myself or friends. This was so much fun! Add the Potato Salad recipe and beans that went with it and everyone will be thrilled. Thanks Sandra Lee.
