8 uncooked bratwurst links
1 can of light beer or nonalcoholic beer (your choice)
1 large sweet onion, sliced
1 can (14 oz.) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
1/4 cup chili sauce
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
1 garlic clove, minced
8 hoagie buns, split
8 slices Swiss cheese

Now you can cook these on the grill or in the house. These beer-brats are a big flavor with the chili sauce and melted cheese. These are easy to make and ready in minutes. Enjoy!!

1. In a large skillet add beer and water and bring brats to a boil, turn down to medium heat and simmer until the brats are cooked. ( I always use a folk to poke holes in them.) You can brown them on the grill or in a skillet with butter. Cook brats with the  onion slices until onions are tender and brats have a nice color.
2. In a small bowl, mix chili sauce, ketchup, copped onion, relish and garlic until blended. If you are cooking in the house, preheat oven to 350 degrees and spread the sauce on each hoagie. Add a slice of cheese. Cook until cheese is melted about 2 to 3 minutes. In a small pot heat up your sauerkraut. Then put together  your brats with onions, sauce and sauerkraut.
3. If your using your grill, put brats right on the grill till you get a nice color. You can toast the rolls just as fast, put the cheese on and add the onions and chili sauce.
