Bratwurst Hot Dogs
These bratwurst hot dogs are bigger, bolder, and more flavorful than your regular hot dog. They're cooked on the stove with beer...so you know they're good!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive
- 1 pack brats contains about 6 brats, I recommend Johnsonville's original
- 6 hoagie rolls can substitute hot dog buns
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups beer can also substitute water
- Ketchup for topping
- Yellow mustard for topping
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the brats in a skillet.
- Add the beer to the pan until the brats are half-covered.
- Bring the liquid in the pan to a simmer, but not to a full boil. Cook the brats uncovered until the liquid evaporates completely.
- Cook the brats until the outside of the brats are nicely browned. Add additional oil if it appears too dry and the brats start to stick to the bottom of the pan.
- While the brats are cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a separate fry pan and add the onions and red pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium-heat until tender.
- To serve, place the brat into the roll (bun) and then top with the onion and pepper mixture, followed by the grated cheese. You can also add ketchup and mustard if desired.
