Easy Grilled Brats (no boiling!)

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

8 fresh brats

peppers and onions

8 brat buns

ketchup and mustard

sauerkraut

Directions

Preheat one side (or zone) of your grill to medium-low heat.

Put the raw, fresh brats over that zone and cook gently, rolling the brats over a few times while cooking. You'll cook them over medium-low heat until the interior temperature reaches 145 degrees F. (If you find your brats are starting to sizzle a lot, turn the heat down to make sure they don't burst. But this shouldn't be an issue with them over medium low heat.)

If you want to grill some peppers onions, cut them in half or quarters and rub with olive oil, then set them over the zone of your grill that is on medium-low heat.

Meanwhile, turn the other side of your grill to high. When your brats have reached 145 degrees F, transfer them to the high heat side, and sear on both sides. After they've been seared, check temperature to make sure they are at least 160 degrees F, then remove from grill. You can also sear your peppers and onions over the high heat to finish, too.

Serve with all of your favorite fixings like ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, and pickles!
