Brats are marinated in beer overnight and grilled or fried to sear in the flavor. This recipe only requires a few ingredients to keep it low-carb. All you need to finish it off is some caramelized onions on top and some toasty buns.
Equipment
- 1 container with a lid for marinating the brats
- 1 knife for slicing onions
- 1 skillet pan for cooing the brats and onions

- 1 large spoon for sauteeing the onions
- Tongs for cooking the brats
Ingredients
- 1 package brats
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 bottles or cans beer any variety(I used Budweiser Next beer which has 0 carbs)
- Sandwich rolls or hot dog buns ( I used Sola low carb hot dog buns)
Instructions
- In a large food storage container, combine the brats, onions, and beer. I used Next beer by Budweiser, which is a low-carb beer. Cover and marinate overnight.
- When the brats have marinated, remove them from the container, reserving the onions and liquid for now, and place the brats in a skillet. Alternatively, you could grill them.
- Cook on all sides Remove the brats from the pan and set aside.
- Strain the onions from the marinade.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet.
- Place the onions in the same pan where the brats were cooked. Saute until browned.
- In a separate pan, melt some butter until it just starts to sizzle. Place the sandwich rolls inside down and brown in the butter until crispy and slightly toasted.
- Serve the brats and onions on the hot toasty sandwich rolls.
