Introduction
This classic game-day recipe features bratwurst simmered in a savory bath of lager beer, chicken stock, fresh herbs, and sautéed bacon, peppers, and onions. The brats are finished on the grill for a perfect char, while the braising liquid is reduced into a rich, mustard-infused sauce.
Step 1
Heat canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the diced bacon, and cook until it renders down and browns.
Step 2
Add the sliced sweet onion, green pepper, and red pepper to the pot and stir to combine with the bacon.
Step 3
Roughly chop the garlic cloves and add them to the pot with the vegetables.
Step 4
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the two bottles of lager beer, followed by the chicken stock.
Step 5
Add fresh thyme, rosemary, and a bay leaf to the braising liquid.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Pricking holes in the sausages allows them to exchange flavors with the braising liquid without bursting.
Scoring the brats diagonally creates maximum surface area for getting extra crispy, charred edges on the grill.
Lager beer works best for this recipe as it complements the rich sausage flavor without overpowering it with bitterness.
