BBQ Brats 'n Beer

Description: I made this recipe last night for the first time and they are good! This is great if you are having a gang in and want a "do it yourself" style dinner (whatever) have baked beans on the side.

Ingredients:

• 6 bratwursts
• 1 (12 ounce) can lager beer
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 10 whole black peppercorns
• 4 whole cloves
• 3 garlic cloves (optional)
• 6 Italian bread
• sweet dark mustard (or your choice)
• pickled hot peppers (or other relish or chutney)

Steps:

1. Put the brats, onions, peppercorns, cloves, garlic in a saucepan, pour in the beer.
2. Bring to a boil and simmer the brats 15 minutes.
3. Drain (you can do this early in the day and then just have the BBQ step to do before serving).
4. BBQ the brats about 10 minutes.
5. Spray with water while BBQing to form a crisp skin.
6. Serve on the roll with mustard and hot peppers or other relish or serve them as your meat for dinner.
