Beer Braised Brats with Sauerkraut Recipe

In a large saucepan (big enough that brats will fit in one layer), add sauerkraut, sliced onion, and bay leaf. Top with brats.

Fill with beer. Bring brats and beer to a boil and reduce to a simmer.

Cover and let simmer 10 minutes.

Meanwhile preheat a grill pan and the broiler. Cut rolls lengthwise and place on a cookie sheet. Toast under broiler.

When brats are parboiled, transfer with tongs to the grill pan. Cook on grill only to achieve grill marks. Strain the kraut in a colander. Remove the bay leaf.

To serve, spread mustard on a roll. Top with kraut and brat.
