Courtesy of National Pork Board 4 Servings • 10 Min. Prep Time • 20 Min. Cook Time
Ingredients
4 bratwurst, uncooked
2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
12 oz. can beer
1 tsp. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 c. bread and butter pickles
1 tsp. thyme leaves, chopped

Directions:

1. In large deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add onion. Sauté, stirring frequently, until very soft, about 8-10 min. Add beer and brown sugar and cook over medium high heat until liquid evaporates, about 10 min., stirring occasionally.

2. Continue cooking until the onion turns a golden brown, stirring constantly. Stir in bacon, pickles and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Prepare a medium hot fire in grill. Grill bratwurst directly over heat, turning, until evenly browned, about 5-7 min. and to an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove from grill and top with onion relish.

* Note: The onion relish can be made ahead and reheated. Store it in the refrigerator. Serve it warm or at room temperature
