My husband is half German, half Italian, so every now and then he gets a craving for a good German Brat boiled in beer.

This craving started while we were in Montana. He saw that a restaurant was serving it nearby. Sadly after we were seated we found out it was another day. (Big sigh)

When we got home this was one of the first things I made for him. I added some German potato salad, and it satisfied his craving.

Now that it’s October, this is the perfect time to add this to your Fall menu. As a side note—I don’t care for beer, but this recipe doesn’t taste like beer—the beer just makes the brats juicier.

Tom received this jar of Pop whole grain mustard for his birthday, and used as a condiment, it made the brats even better.

Bratwurst recipe:

• 4 -6 brats
• Two T. butter and 1 T. Olive oil
• One onion, sliced
• One can light beer, Pilsner

Sauté the onions in butter and olive oil over low heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the brats and pour beer over the top. Bring to simmer and cook for 15-20 min. Be sure not to boil or you’ll split the brat skins. In the meantime heat your grill to medium-high. When the brats are ready, grill them for 2 minutes per side until browned and blistered. You can serve immediately or put them back in the pan on the stove to simmer until ready to eat.

For the potato salad, I found it on the All Recipes website. It was delicious served warm.

I love this time of year, for cooking and baking. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend,
