Smoked Beer Brats with Caramelized Onion
Stuff these smoked brats into a fluffy bun and top them with a generous helping of caramelized onions and a drizzle of sauce for the perfect summer sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 medium white onions, sliced
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cans Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
Instructions
- In large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the onions, stirring until they're tender and clear.
- Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low, and add the brats to the pan. Pour in the beer and cover the pan.
- Continue cooking the covered brats for 25-30 minutes, allowing the beer to cook down and the onions to caramelize.
- Transfer the brats to a smoker safe dish (leave the onion in the skillet, and set aside). Using hickory chips, smoke the brats for an additional 1-2 hours at 225 degrees.
- Stuff the brats into your favorite buns. Serve them topped with warmed caramelized onions.
