I am 160lbs and I was first served this recipe at a barbeque. I consumed 5 hotdogs as I could not believe the taste that I was experiencing. I ended up begging for this recipe. It yields a sweet and exceptionally tasty Brat.

Ingredients
Serves: 6
3 - 4 cans of American Domestic beer (Coors(R) or Bud(R))
1 packet of JOHNSONVILLE(R) Brats (or any other quality Brat)
Bring the beer to a boil in a large cooking pot. I have found that the lighter American beers (Budweiser, Coors etc) work much better that thicker stronger British beers. Slice the onions and put them and the BROWN sugar into the cooking pot. I use two cups of sugar, but the original recipe used less. Stir and let the pot bubble away until the sugar melts and the onions start to go brown and soft (do not be put off by the smell at this stage!). Then put in the Brats for about 10 - 15 minutes, making sure they are covered. When they are cooked, put them on the barbeque (medium heat)until they are brown all over. These sausages taste better if they are slow cooked and constantly rotated. As such, tend them at this stage. When they are nicely browned, put them back in the beer/onion/sugar and let simmer for 5 - 10 more minutes.

Serve the above on a roll with a smear of mayonnaise and a light honey mustard. DELICIOUS!
A flavor phenomenon. Best Brat I've ever had. I made 18 of these with 3 buds, and 2 cups brown sugar, and tons of onions. The onions hold the flavor over night the best. I prefer it as a sandwich with mayo
I've made this many times without the brown sugar. I notice the difference, and I agree that with the sugar makes for a bit sweeter brat. I also confirmed that cooking these ona gas grill is not the way to go because of the flareups. From now on, only charcoal.
Altered ingredient amounts.
I cooked 10 J'ville brats in a 6 pack of Miller High Life (because it was cheaper than Bud), used 1 large onion and i cup brown sugar. It was still good.
. AWESOME. G/F doesn't eat any version of hotdog and she inhaled 3 of these. Made it exactly as above and wouldn't change anything. Thanks for posting.
This was really good! You need to try it. It's very similar to another recipe I use, except the other one added a sliced red bell pepper but no sugar. I did use 2 c of the Brown Sugar.
