Yesterday was my brother’s birthday and I was tasked with bringing a dish. He generally follows a paleo diet, so anything waffled was out…bummer! So instead, I went for something meaty.
And of course, I needed something simple. Well, it doesn’t get any easier than this. The “hot tub” is a three ingredient brew made with beer, an onion and a couple tablespoons of butter. Grill the brats to a golden finish and throw it all in the brew and let go. The end result is brats that are balanced with a subtle beer flavor.
That’s it. This turned out to be a bigger hit than I thought—with the adults and kids.
