Wisconsin Bratwurst

Juicy bratwurst are simmered with beer, onions, and butter until infused with malty richness, then finished on the grill for a well-browned snap. Nestled into hoagie rolls and piled with the tender onions, this Wisconsin Bratwurst delivers smoky, savory flavor that’s ideal for game day, tailgates, or a hearty backyard dinner.

Wisconsin Bratwurst
  1. 1

    Prick the bratwurst with a fork to keep them from bursting while they cook.

  2. 2

    Place them in a large stockpot. Add the beer, onions, butter, and black pepper. Set the stockpot over medium heat, bring it to a boil, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. 4

    Grill the bratwurst on the preheated grill until evenly browned, about 10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve hot from the grill with onions on hoagie rolls.
