Juicy bratwurst simmered in beer and tucked under a pile of sweet, caramelized onions is the only way to cook brats! The beer and onions flavor the sausage as it simmers and steams, then everything is piled onto a bun with a squirt of mustard. Perfect for game day, cookouts or an easy weeknight dinner.
