Beer Brats with Spicy Sautéed Onions: The Ultimate Flavor Kick

Get ready to take your bratwurst to the next level with this easy yet bold recipe, featuring our Classic Red Hot Sauce and Hot Honey Mustard. These brats are basted in beer for extra flavor, then grilled to perfection, topped with spicy sautéed onions that bring all the heat and sweetness you like.

Why Zack’s is the Real Deal:

  • Plain Red Hot Sauce: A fermented masterpiece with a strong chile de arbol heat that adds a layer of complexity and real spice. No artificial anything—just pure, bold flavor.

  • Hot Honey Mustard: Sweet, spicy, and tangy with natural ingredients. This is the kind of mustard you actually want on your brats, not the bland stuff.

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 Brats

  • Zack’s Plain Red Hot Sauce

  • Zack’s Hot Honey Mustard

  • 1 large onion (thinly sliced)

  • 1 tbsp oil or fat

  • 1 beer (lager or pale ale)

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Buns

Instructions:

  1. Baste the Brats:
    Sear the brats in a stainless steel pan until golden brown on each side. Pour in a few glugs of beer and let simmer on medium heat until brats are fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. Sauté the Onions:
    While the brats are going, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, and cook until they’re soft and golden brown (about 10 minutes). Stir in the brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Then, pour in a generous amount of our Classic Red Hot Sauce to give the onions that spicy, tangy kick. Let them simmer for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors.

  3. Assemble:
    Once the brats are done, place them on buns and drizzle with our Hot Honey Mustard. Top with the spicy beer-braised onions.

Pro Tip: Serve with a swipe of our Bacon Mayo for an indulgent boost of flavor!

Why This Is Better Than Store-Bought:

Those mass-produced condiments just can’t compete with the real deal. Our Classic Red Hot Sauce and Hot Honey Mustard are crafted with quality ingredients that pack layers of flavor and just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of stuff that makes you forget about that old crusty bottle of mustard in the fridge.

So, fire up the grill, get those brats on, and bring the heat with Zack’s Food Stuff.
