How to Grill Bratwurst

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat – about 375℉.

Place the bratwurst on the preheated grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

To ensure even cooking, make sure each side of the bratwurst is exposed to the heat for about 7 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165°F.

Remove the bratwurst from the grill and place them on a plate. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing brats to add swiss cheese.

Fold swiss slice to fit into the bratwurst slit.

Add it to the bun and then top with the grilled onions and peppers.

How to Grill Onions and Peppers

Grilling onions and peppers is an easy way to add great flavor to your bratwurst dogs!

• Onions (any variety)
• Peppers – Bell or sweet peppers work best
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Aluminum foil (optional)

Start by prepping the vegetables. Slice onions into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and cut peppers into strips or chunks, removing any seeds or membranes. Place vegetables on a large sheet of aluminum foil (optional) and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

Preheat to medium-high heat (around 375 °F). Place the onions and peppers over direct heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the desired doneness is reached.

When finished grilling, transfer the vegetables to a plate to add to the bratwurst.
