Beer brats and onions

Cookbook_Chip

I've had my egg a couple months and ribs, steaks and salmon keep coming out so good, I haven't done much else!  But last night, did some beer brats and onions.  Used Dr BBQs recipe - stick of butter in a pan with a couple sweet onions.  Get the onions softening/browning while you get some nice grill marks on the brats.  Then pour a beer (or two) into the onions.  Add the brats and cook until most of the beer has evaporated.  Man!  These tasted fantastic!  (sorry for the soft focus - I think it was the adult beverages)

Those do look great! It has been a while since I have had some good brats, which is sad seeing as I'm in WI.

You cook great Brats and then ruin it with Tater Tots and Frozen Fries

The frozen fries are getting no love today. They are getting bashed over on another thread.

Looking good, reminded me that I have some brats in the freezer. Beer brats are mighty tasty.

One step at a time!  Steak fries properly marinated on the top of a Swing Rack is the next step.  The perfect finish to "meat and potatos".  I've had some Italian sausage languishing in the freezer and may give it a try with them.  Won't use my beloved Eye of the Hawk ale but maybe some Coors.

Ain't nothing wrong with some tots as long as he cooked them on the Egg. You did cook them on the Egg, right Chip?

Cookbook_Chip

@griffin - sure did!  In a foil wrap - and some Dizzy Dust sprinkled on.  But dipping them in the au jus was great!

Those look great, I do something similar with onions, peppers and sauerkraut.

Dude that us awesome. New egg owners always think they don't have much to add... I'm doing that when I get home. Might add red peppers.

Thanks for posting.

Great looking brats!  What's funny is that recipe is something Steven Raichlen did too...I wonder who was the originator   He called it the Beer Bath for Brats or something like that...

Nice! What temp?

Deluca

I'd say in the 400 to 450. Probably about 45 minutes for the beer to evaporate.
