A delicious twist on the classic beer brats recipe, featuring caramelized onions and bell peppers for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Pour the lager beer into a large pot and bring it to a simmer.
Using a lager beer adds a smooth flavor to the bratwurst.
Pierce the bratwurst with a fork and place them into the simmering beer. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Piercing the bratwurst allows the beer to infuse better.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the onions for even cooking.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from burning.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Combine the onions and peppers well for a balanced flavor.
Remove the bratwurst from the beer and add them to the skillet. Brown them slightly, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Adding the bratwurst to the skillet enhances their flavor with the caramelized onions and peppers.
Serve the bratwurst on soft rolls, topped with the caramelized onions and bell peppers, and a dollop of Dijon mustard.
Warm the rolls slightly before serving for a better texture.
