Backyard entertaining couldn't be easier!
Let your guests help themselves to grilled brats
soaking in a hot tub of beer and caramelized onions.
Be sure to provide plenty of their
favorite condiments and lots of napkins!

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 (11 x 9 x 2 3/8-inch) aluminum foil baking pan
2 to 3 (12-ounce) bottles beer
1 to 2 packages fresh bratwurst
Hoagie or hot dog rolls
Your favorite condiments

Directions:
Melt butter in a large skillet,
add sliced onions and cook over low heat,
uncovered, until onions are caramelized and golden in color.
(Don't rush this process or the sugar in the onions
will burn giving them a bitter taste.
To save time, this step can be done the day before,
storing the caramelized onions in the
refrigerator until ready to use.)
Prepare grill.
Place aluminum pan on one side of grill
and add the caramelized onions and beer; bring to a simmer.
Meanwhile, grill the brats until
golden brown then place in the hot tub.
Serve brats on buns with your favorite condiments.
