Grilled Mustard-Beer Bratwurst With Toasted Garlic Buns - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 fully cooked bratwursts
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (or use cayenne)
6 large hot dog buns, split (use a small soft sub bun for this or large hot dog buns)
1/2 cup soft butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
CONDIMENTS
pickle relish
chopped onion
ketchup
mustard

Preparation

Cut 4 (1/4-inch deep) slices in each bratwurst (the slits will allow them to soak up the sauce as it cooks and also gives them a nicer appearance).
In a saucepan combine beer, brown sugar, mustard and black pepper; cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
Add in bratwurst, then reduce heat to low; cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from the beer mixture (RESERVE the beer mixture).
Place the brats on the grill; brush generously with the remaining beer/mustard mixture until the brats are browned (about 5-6 minutes).
Mix softened butter with garlic powder and salt then spread onto each side of the bun; place on the grill and toast until lightly browned.
Place 1 brat onto each bun and top with one or all of the condiments.
Delicious!
