Grilled Mustard-Beer Bratwurst With Toasted Garlic Buns

• 6 fully cooked bratwursts
• 1/2 cup beer
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (or use cayenne)
• 6 large hot dog buns, split (use a small soft sub bun for this or large hot dog buns)
• 1/2 cup soft butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• CONDIMENTS
• pickle relish
• chopped onion
• ketchup
• mustard

1. Cut 4 (1/4-inch deep) slices in each bratwurst (the slits will allow them to soak up the sauce as it cooks and also gives them a nicer appearance).
2. In a saucepan combine beer, brown sugar, mustard and black pepper; cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Add in bratwurst, then reduce heat to low; cook for 5 minutes.
4. Remove from the beer mixture (RESERVE the beer mixture).
5. Place the brats on the grill; brush generously with the remaining beer/mustard mixture until the brats are browned (about 5-6 minutes).
6. Mix softened butter with garlic powder and salt then spread onto each side of the bun; place on the grill and toast until lightly browned.
7. Place 1 brat onto each bun and top with one or all of the condiments.
8. Delicious!
