DIRECTIONS

1. Place your sausages in a large pot and cover with water. The pot should not be more than three quarters of the way filled.

2. Bring the water and brats to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes. You can boil and simmer the liquid and brats either inside on a stovetop or outside over a grill. This parboil step helps cook the brats evenly throughout so you don’t have any raw spots in the middle!

3. After parboiling, remove the brats from the liquid and dry off. Place the sausages over medium direct heat. Be careful to not put the sausages over anything higher than medium heat to avoid having the casings crack open. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the casing is browned.

4. Once brats are browned, they are ready to eat. Remove from grill, let cool, and serve with your favorite fixings. Enjoy!
