Savoring a meal that transports one to a bucolic Sunday in the country is one of life’s most enchanting pleasures. Hearty, savory dinners are a means to join family around the table in the Midwest, and my oven-braised beer brats with caramelized onions are a nod to that heritage. On chilly fall days or at informal family meals, nothing beats a pot of flavorful brats cooked in beer with sweet onions that have caramelized to perfection. This recipe embodies the enduring art of basic cooking while also speaking volumes about history, family, and profound satisfaction.
With a side of warm, crusty bread or traditional rolls, these beer brats and caramelized onions make a substantial dinner. The bread will soak up all the wonderful sauce. The difference in texture and taste would be really great with a side of creamy coleslaw or buttery mashed potatoes. The fatty brats go well with a tangy German potato salad, so be sure to bring some. Adding a baked apple pie or a simple green salad is the perfect way to end off a Midwestern meal.

Served with caramelized onions, oven-braised beer brats make 6 patties.
