Feasty Beer Dogs and Beer Brats
From Chefs Jon Mayer and Jim Stump (the Feasty Boys)
Sunday, May 29, 2005

The "Feasty Boys" have been called the bachelor's answer to Martha Stewart, so who better to share tips on cooking the best barbecue for a summer weekend.

Ingredients

10 hot dogs or bratwursts

10 hot dog buns or hoagie rolls

Gas or charcoal Grill

Medium-sized holding pan

3 cans domestic beer

1 large onion, chopped

1 stick butter

Ketchup

mustard (preferrably brown)

chopped onion

sauerkraut

grilled onions

peppers

whatever other condiments you like.

Directions

Preheat grill to medium/medium-high heat.

Place beer, butter and onions in a metal holding pan on grill and bring to a boil.

In the meantime, place hot dogs/brats on grill, approximately seven to nine inches above the coals, and turn often until done, approximately 20-25 minutes. (Internal temperature of 150°F.)

Turn brats often using tongs to both avoid puncturing and charring on the outside.

When brats are done, place in the "holding pan" until ready to eat.

Serve on bun, dressed with your choice of favorite condiments.

Feasty Tip: Submerge your brats in a pan filled with beer, butter and sliced onions on the grill. The brats will stay warm and juicy in the liquid for hours. When ready to eat, simply remove and flash grill the brats as need be. The alcohol completely cooks off, making this dish safe for picnickers of all ages.
