BRATS:
- Add onions, sausages, peppercorns to a bowl and add beer. For the most flavorful results let soak for 12 hours or overnight. When marinated, transfer to a dutch oven. Bring the brats to a boil and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until core temperature reaches 145 degrees. If using chicken sausage, cook to 165.
- For a little extra flavor, grill for 1-2 min.
- Serve on toasted brioche hot dog buns with Pickled Planet Great Plains Sauerkraut, dijon mustard, and the beer-soaked onions from the beer bath.
