Bratwurst

"This is the only way to cook bratwurst. The brats are incredibly tasty! If you can get fresh bratwurst from a sausage shop, do it... its worth the extra cost. Packaged bratwurst is okay, but there's nothing like fresh brats. Serve with brown mustard and on hoagie rolls; serve on substantial hoagie rolls, never on hot dog buns. Mustard is important - it must stone ground mustard. Add warm sauerkraut if you want it, and ketchup if you desire.  Listen to some polka!"

Yield 20 servings.
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes

• 5 pounds bratwurst
• 5 onions, thinly sliced
• 2-1/2 cups butter
• 15 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles beer
• 1 tablespoon and 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
1 Prick bratwurst with fork so they won't explode as they cook, and add to a large stew pot. Add onions and butter or margarine, and slowly pour beer into the pot. Place pot over medium heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
2 Preheat grill for medium high heat.
3 Lightly oil grate, and place bratwurst on grill. Cook for 10 to 14 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Serve hot off the grill.
