I thought this was a fun twist on our usual summer bratwurst cookout. Typically, we grill them and then put them in a beer bath but I thought I'd try something new for our annual family potluck. I'll be honest, there were two people who were upset I didn't make the same recipe we've made for over 50 years but everyone else loved them. It's a great way to not have to man the grill when everyone is over and having fun.

I love bratwurst and I decided to make them different from the beer, garlic, onion, sautee and grill method I always use but this is not the way to do it. I did not care for the taste or texture of this recipe. I think I'll stick with my tried-and-true method.
