Steps:
- Cook Brats over medium heat. Pierce casings all over with pointed end of knife or use fork. This will allow the fat to drip out into pan and prevent sausages from bursting. Brown on all sides until no pink shows on inside. Remove from pan and set aside.
- To make gravy: Take a container with a sealable lid (like tupperware) and pour the beer into it. Add Italian seasoning, beef boullion, pepper and cornstarch. Place lid on tight and shake to blend ingredients. Open lid between shakes to relieve the gas pressure from the beer or you'll have a big mess to clean up.
- Pour beer mixture into pan drippings. Turn up heat to medium high. Stir using a wire whisk, loosening bits from bottom of pan. Gravy is done when you see it bubbling.
- Too thick? Add more beer. Too thin? Add more beer mixed with a little cornstarch. Do not add dry cornstarch directly to hot gravy. You will get lumps.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie.

Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet or nonstick pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bratwurst and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the sausage to a plate; set aside. Add the onions and salt to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes (do not burn; reduce the heat if necessary).
- Place the bratwurst back in the pan on top of the onions, add the beer, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid, and simmer for 10 minutes (at this point the sausages will be partially cooked through). Remove the cover, increase the heat to medium, and continue cooking until the bratwurst are cooked through and the beer is reduced by about three quarters, 10 to 12 minutes more. Serve the bratwurst and onions on rolls with mustard and sauerkraut, if desired.
- Note: I use Johnsonville Original Brats; avoid any brats already flavored with beer, as the finished dish will taste too bitter. Also be sure to purchase fresh (not cooked) sausages.
- Note: Lager is a family of beers that includes bright lagers, amber lagers, dark lagers, Oktoberfests, and pilsners. I use Sam Adams Oktoberfest, but Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite are all good options. No need to use anything fancy!

Tips:
- Choose the right brats: Look for fresh or frozen brats that are plump and evenly colored. Avoid brats that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Prick the brats: Before cooking, use a fork to prick the brats all over. This will help the brats cook evenly and prevent them from splitting.
- Brown the brats: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the brats on all sides until they are golden brown. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the brats from drying out.
- Simmer the brats: After browning, transfer the brats to a pot or Dutch oven. Add enough beer to cover the brats and bring to a simmer. Simmer the brats for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Make the beer gravy: While the brats are simmering, make the beer gravy. In a saucepan, combine the butter, flour, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the beer and chicken broth until the gravy is thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the brats: Serve the brats with the beer gravy, sauerkraut, and your favorite sides.
