A great 'self-serve' game day recipe if you're having a few friends over! The 'Brat Tub' adds so much additional flavor from the beer and onions and there is basically no clean-up! What could be better? I sometimes add Sauerkraut to my brat tub as well for variation! Enjoy!

4 tablespoons butter, salted
2 bottles beer
1 - foil steam tray (1/2 size)

How To Make bratwurst hot tub

Step 1

Cut onions into 1/2 inch thick slices. Brush butter on both sides and grill for 3-5 mins per side - until golden brown

Step 2

Add onions and beer to foil tray and boil 3 mins
Step 3

Add Brats to the grill, cook direct over medium heat about 5-7 mins, turning frequently to avoid flare-ups or excessive charring
Step 4

add cooked Brats to the 'hot tub' of beer and onions
Step 5

Move hot tub to indirect heat set-up - meaning turn the elements directly under the 'hot tub' off while leaving the other(s) on. This will keep your hot tub and brats steaming away for a couple of hours without overcooking.
Step 6

Serve with your favorite condiments! Enjoy!
