Ingredients

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
2 large onions, chopped
6 hard rolls, halved and well buttered

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill.

    Step 2

    Grill bratwursts on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning occasionally, until cooked through and dark golden brown, about 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    While bratwursts are cooking, in a 3-quart saucepan heat beer, butter, and onions, stirring occasionally, until warm. Keep marinade warm over low heat.

    Step 6

    With a slotted spoon put onions from marinade on brats.

    Step 7

    Apply your chosen accompaniments to brats.
