Jalapeno Beer Brats

I’m sharing #SausageFamily in my life as part of a Johnsonville sponsored series for Socialstars™

These Jalapeno Beer Brats are served on a bun with caramelized onions, sauerkraut and melted swiss cheese plus lots of jalapeno pepper slices. I don’t think brats ever tasted so good.

Jalapeno Beer Brats

The best thing about these brats is they already have the beer flavor in the brats. I used Johnsonville® Brats Beer ‘n Bratwurst®. With these brats, you can have the flavor of beer without having to simmer them in beer before you grill them. I love that because it cuts out a whole step for me.

And what’s even better than that?

You can save all your beer for drinking. 🙂

Jalapeno Beer Brats

I grill every chance I get during the spring and summer. I love how easy it makes clean-up. Brats are one of my favorite things to grill.

Especially Johnsonville® Brats. They are so juicy with tons of flavor and are always a fan favorite.

Johnsonville® Brats come in lots of different flavors including Cheddar, Chipotle & Monterey Jack, and Hot ‘n Spicy.

When grilling Brats, be sure the heat isn’t too high. Too much heat and they will burst open and lose all their juice. I like to cook mine on medium-low for a good 20 minutes.

To go with the brats, I sauteed some sweet onions until golden. They take about the same amount of time that the brats take to grill.

To serve the brats, I stuffed the buns with sauerkraut and then covered the brats with swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and jalapeno slices.

Talk about good. 🙂
