Beer Boiled Bratwurst

      Summertime is rapidly approaching.  Nothing says summer like a barbecue.  One of the easiest ways to please a crowd is with beer!!  Now, we don't drink as you may know, but we still take advantage of the depth that a cold one can add to your food.  Next time you have a party, leave out a beer or two for your bratwurst, I promise you won't regret it.

  

Serves 5
Ingredients:
2 Beers (we use non-alcoholic but its up to you)
1 green pepper thinly sliced
1/2 large yellow onion thinly sliced
1 red pepper thinly sliced
1 tblsp butter
5 bratwurst
5 slices provolone cheese
5 hoagie rolls

   Thinly slice your vegetables into strips, and saute them with the butter over medium high heat.  Once they begin to caramelize reduce heat.  In a sauce pan, pour in the contents of two beers, and bring to a boil.  Put in the bratwursts and let boil for about 7-10 minutes until they appear done.

    Remove the sausages from the pan, and place them on the grill on medium heat.  At this point you are looking for the char, to add the smokey grill flavor. Once the brawts begin to brown, you can remove them.

   For a last step of flavor, I add them to the pepper and onion mixture and heat up for a couple of minutes before serving.  Serve with provolone cheese on a hoagie or sandwich roll.   I like mine with a little Dijon mustard, and an ice cold non-alcoholic Coors!!  Just kidding, Enjoy!
