You're having a party, serving a variety of delicious appetizers, some new and different and some old favorites. This is a slight twist on the tried and true bratwurst with peppers and onions. It is a great way to enjoy this classic without stuffing yourself. Remember, there are so many other things to try that you don't want your guests filling up on one main dish.
I don't list any amounts because your quantities will depend on the size of your party.
Bratwursts
Beer - several cans of a beer that you can do without.
Onions, slivered
Peppers, red & green, slivered
Dollar rolls, or small buns - any small roll will do.
Saute onions & peppers.Boil the bratwursts in beer just until they change color.* Grill bratwursts and do not let them burst. Allow them to cool enough to handle. Slice into ¼” pieces. Mix together with bratwursts.
Keep hot in crockpot. Have your choice of rolls set up next to the crockpot so your guest can serve themselves.
*I used to think this was a wasted step, but I was wrong! Boiling the bratwursts will remove a bit of grease and will infuse them with moisture that will help with the grilling stage. Don't worry, you won't taste the beer when you eat them, but they will be so much juicier than without this step. Remember, any time a bratwurst bursts on the grill, it makes for a nice sizzle, but that is because some of that wonderfully flavored juiciness is spilling into your fire. Try not to let that happen.
