I just had a yummy dinner. And I have leftovers for a couple days:
1/2 dozen brats (I picked them up fresh and handmade from a new local meatmarket)
1 medium sweet onion
1 stick butter
3 bottles of beer.
I chopped up the onion, put it in a saucepan with the beer, onion, and brats, brought it to a boil, then turned it down to simmer.
When the brats were cooked, I pulled them out, then put them on a grill long enough to mark them, then put them back in the saucepan while I toasted some hot dog buns.
Put a brat and some onions on a toasted bun.... very yummy.
I just wish I'd had a little cheese. i think that would've topped it off nicely.
sounds like a great meal....
