Ingredients

FOR THE OVEN-BRAISED BRATS:

2 medium yellow onions sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons butter
10 brats any kind you like
48 ounces beer lager preferably

FOR SERVING:

10 hotdog buns or brat/sausage rolls

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
In a disposable lasagna pan, break apart the onions and layer them in the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle the garlic over top and dot with butter.
Place the brats on the onions, pour in the beer and nestle the brats into the liquids so half is submerged into the beer. Cover the pan tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil.
Place on the middle rack of your preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes. When time is up, flip and slip the uncovered pan back into the oven for 30 more minutes or until the brats are fully cooked.
Preheat your grill to 400℉ (or 200℃).
Grill the brats for 2 to 3 minutes a side or until the skin is crispy and has good color. Transfer the grilled brats back to the warm beer liquids to keep warm while serving.
Serve with the beer-soaked onions, sauerkraut, mustard, jalapenos or anything your heart desires.
