Mini Brats with Sauerkraut and Honey Hot Sauce
(beer, brats, sauerkraut + honey hot sauce mustard)
Serves 12

What you need:
6 bratwursts
1 (12-ounce) can lager beer
1 sweet onion, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16-ounce) package sauerkraut
2 tablespoons Savannah Bee Company® Honey Hot Sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 crusty dinner rolls, split
Celery salt for serving

What to do:

1. Wash Up!

2. Poach the bratwurst: Combine the bratwurst, beer, ½ cup water, and onion in a medium saucepan. Steam the bratwurst and onions for 10 minutes, or until the bratwurst are cooked through.

3. Grill the bratwurst: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the bratwurst from the poaching liquid and grill 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on all sides.
